Personal Social Networks

Social web already have made us friendlier and open for communication.

But all we're dependent on owners of social services. All our data is stored on their servers and fully accessible by their staff. There is no real privacy. For example: I have some posts that available only for my friends or only for me. But, I can't be sure that this personal information not be viewed by 3rd party.

Only thing I have – trust to social network's owners.

I think OpenSocial from Google will made us more free from social networks' owners. With OpenSocial technology "… you can host your application on your own servers …" or even "… build a complete social app with no server at all …".

For example, I may buy own domain, rent a server and install social CMS like SocialPress. That's all! My own social network is ready. It's hosts only my data and fully under my control. Also I can get my old personal data from FaceBook or any other network. If I would like to post private message – it remain private. My social data will become independent of Facebook owners or somebody else.

I think, this is the future of the Web - billions of the Personal Social Networks.
