It gets even more complex when we think about people’s private and public identities. Some of my Facebook posts are public and I read many public posts from the media, fan groups and companies. That is all part of my social graph but how would we work all of that? That said, there may be solutions there. The larger issue is how these links work is constantly evolving yet having a consumer controlled social graph may make it difficult to be responsive. After all, think about how you manage the social graph that is your pre-programmed fast dial numbers on a phone (if you even do those things). They quickly go out of date and you can’t be bothered updating them.
This is a hard problem to solve. We solved it at Qbix. We're still working on releasing our Platform to everyone, but for now it's already open source and we are dogfooding it in all our own apps.
We are also working on an interoperable auth protocol where you do control your identity and keep your contacts private, but discover them across communities (venues and interests).
