As far as I can tell you could use XFN, hCard and OpenID to build something. With the maturation of OpenID it looks like we're getting very close. @Cris, I’m not aware of anything yet, but I’m very interested myself.

I'm interested in creating permeable boundaries between social networks - this would allow people to get active in multiple niche, contextually-relevant communities without having to maintain multiple personas.

To ameliorate the privacy concerns you could make it very easy for your users to generate alternative personas and set visibility for each. The future of everything is social and the current crop of social networks aren't really helping us build that future.

(Because KickApps is a hosted platform, these updates will appear on all new and existing KA-powered communities.) Alper, very interesting idea re open data on social networks - do you think there would be privacy concerns?

This extra work could be prevented if you could preseed from LinkedIn (or similar). I don't know if this is possible. I do know that social networks should provide open data to be of any real use.

The reason we want a Scoial network is because we want to do something for the visitors of the conference BEFORE the actual cconference. This is usually an ignored space and I think we could do more with that. After Le Web 3 I got emails from 2 friends who were ate the conference but didn't know I was there. We just missed each other. A simple social network to faciliate contacts would be nice. Hello Tijs en Rutger!
