You write: <blockquote>"Representatives from Yahoo, Myspace, Seesmic, Disney, BBC, NineMSN, Dow Jones/Fox and others are already onboard,"</blockquote> this is actually a miss-quote from <a href="http://blog.engagd.com/2008/01/public-invitation-to-facebook-to-join.html" rel="nofollow">Chris Saad's original piece</a>: <blockquote>"If you notice by looking at the roster of contributors to DataPortability, there are already <strong>individuals involved who also happen to work for</strong> Yahoo, Myspace, Seesmic, Disney, BBC, NineMSN, Dow Jones/Fox and others."</blockquote> None of the companies you have mentioned have any involvement with DataPortability.org. As Chris writes DP.org is supported by individuals who just <em>happen</em> to have employers or clients that are the companies listed. Their personal involvement does not equate to backing by their employer/client. As the contributor to DataPortability.org who has both Seesmic and MySpace as clients I need to stress that neither of my clients have anything to do with the DP.org initiative and that my involvement with the project is entirely separate from that of my professional client work. From a media training perspective, I don't think it was the best way Chris could have constructed his sentence to convey his point, but nevertheless there has been a significant miss-quote here that I would be most grateful if it could be corrected asap to avoid any further confusion. Many thanks Hi Duncan

There is an important inaccuracy in your post that I would be most grateful if you could correct ASAP .

You write:

“Representatives from Yahoo, Myspace, Seesmic, Disney, BBC, NineMSN, Dow Jones/Fox and others are already onboard,”

this is actually a miss-quote from Chris Saad’s original piece:

“If you notice by looking at the roster of contributors to DataPortability, there are already individuals involved who also happen to work for Yahoo, Myspace, Seesmic, Disney, BBC, NineMSN, Dow Jones/Fox and others.”

None of the companies you have mentioned have any involvement with DataPortability.org. As Chris writes DP.org is supported by individuals who just happen to have employers or clients that are the companies listed. Their personal involvement does not equate to backing by their employer/client.

As the contributor to DataPortability.org who has both Seesmic and MySpace as clients I need to stress that neither of my clients have anything to do with the DP.org initiative and that my involvement with the project is entirely separate from that of my professional client work.

From a media training perspective, I don’t think it was the best way Chris could have constructed his sentence to convey his point, but nevertheless there has been a significant miss-quote here that I would be most grateful if it could be corrected asap to avoid any further confusion.

Many thanks

That is fundamental to civil disobedience.
