I want to own my data.

I want to privately and securely manage my identity online.

I want to have control of my contacts online.

And Six Apart thinks I should be able to:

Your lists of friends and connections on the social websites that you use, sometimes called your social graph, belongs to you. No one company should own who you know and how you know them. OpenID, which was born at Six Apart less than two years ago, was successful by embracing a similar philosophy: no one company should own everyone’s online identity. An open social graph is just as important as an open identity.

• You should own your social graph
• Privacy must be done right by placing control in your hands
• It is good to be able to find out what is already public about you on the Internet
• Everyone has many social graphs, and they shouldn’t always be connected
• Open technologies are the best way to solve these problem

Let’s make it happen.
