Place all the eggs in one basket: SDSN
February 20, 2008
It appears that the abundance of social networks gives headaches to busy guys. Several IT blokes from South Africa came up with a unified account, Simple Distributed Social Network (SDSN). “Their concept is simple,” whiteafrican.com reports, “create a standardized way for people to own their own profiles, so they’re not tied into (and recreated) on every social website (like Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, etc…).”
The rationale behind the services is also simple. “If you think about it, the way we’re handling profiles online is a little crazy. Having my profile duplicated multiple locations, for each site, is neither efficient or a good long-term solution,” Whiteafrican reads.
Although the idea is not new, it has some important innovative features, the website writes. “To be honest, a couple other services are trying to tackle some of these same issues (OpenID, Microformats, Google’s OpenSocial, etc…). SDSN compliments these services, from what I can tell, and simplifies it for anyone who has their own website.”
