Thoughts on DataPortability
http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2008/05/11/thoughts-on-dataportability/Introduction Over the last several days I’ve started and abandoned four drafts of this post.

EKIVE - Thoughts and Ideas
http://ekive.blogspot.comYowzaa! My brain is still spinning from reading two great posts. The first was Chris Messina talking about Data Portability in his FactoryCity Blog "Thoughts on Data Portability." In that post Chris points to a great post from Josh Patterson and Josh Lewis at Floe.tv on the Web Relational File System (WRFS). If you have any interest in Data Portability and the future of data storage on the

He takes the time to explain what data portability is and should be.
