Google Working on a Free (Freedom) Social Network Aggregation Service

It is reported that Google is working on a Free social network aggregation service. Managing your identity, your information, and your contacts in a way which gives you freedom is a clear goal of the SharedUniverse Project. The key elements of this news with regard to users' freedom are:

  • Open Source Software - (Free Software?) Anyone should be able to run it.
  • Non-Profit Stewardship - The service should be operated under the auspices of a non-profit entity that is chartered in the interest of the users.

The SharedUniverse Project welcomes this development and will keep an eye on progress.
