Google is become a Microsoft Clone. Copying technology that others have patented. It could soon be in BIG trouble.

But then Google, Microsoft are the cowboys of the software world.

The idea of universal id is not new but it has recently caught attention.

So like Microsoft copied the mac interface for its windows and thereafter with every thing they created, Google is copying the likes of Facebook and others.

Interestingly, the idea of having personal data portability and universal id caught the imagination of companies such as Facebook, Google, etc after a relatively obscure company called NetAlter Software published its patent called NetAlter and outlined on its website that it proposes to develop an alternative to the internet or the present web.

So, wonder what their lawyers are up to!!!

The thing is I am not sure what useful information Google has to add to anyone’s social graph. Orkut is hardly used and I am quite sure that everyone you have ever received a mail from in GMail is not a social graph you’d want to take to any other site.

The general move towards data protability is welcome though. We run a sales leads and referral network for business wich is underpinned by social networking methods. That existing Facebook users in business could use our site easily and start gaining benefits quicker by bringing over existing contacts would benefit everyone.

I’d be keen for us to join with Facebook Connect and also Google Friend Connect for access to its GMail and Adwords users.
