my prison ,my walls
the stairs that i climb
to get me gently in the skies

My words are my swords
the weapons i hide
my army that craves
in battles to fight

My words are the dwarfs
that linger in tales
humbly awaiting
for a part to be played

My words are my prayers
that hope to reach God
but stumbling on clouds
they fall on the ground

My words are my fleet
in oceans and storms
with sails that have torn
the winds from the North

My words are the wings
of a bird that can’t fly
and it stays perched
by the sea its whole life

I certainly don't think that i am the only one in the group that 'groks' it- but i do have the luxury of being in the middle of it all- both nside and outside of the Data Portability project group which at times seems 24x7! i have been involved since the beginning of the project (nov 07) and have known some of the founders for over two years as well as growth to respect some of the other very active participants, who over the last 6months have been advocating DataPortability and doing a great job at propagating these ideas. i spend a lot of time listening to all the project members as well as views from the other communities- this is not easy stuff and has a lot of implications. I am most pleased that the 'market' is listening. Now it is up to us to agree on somethings so we don't let them down. Meet you at the Babbage Difference Engine~ Thanks Marc i am looking forward to the Data Sharing Summit as well.

My my my - looks like the distributed open web is coming together. Caroline McCarthy sees this as a social mess - but I see it as the elegant organic chaos of an open mesh.  Others are confused as well. And some people are still worrying about MyBlogLog. Or have other opinions.  Stacy Higginbotham (on GigaOm) has compared all three offerings - even better than I did. Thanks Stacy!

They failed with the portals - now they try with the social graph. I agree. But what is more evident to me is that yet again media companies are left behind.
