The Social Web TV

Why don't the social networks and communication tools you use work well together? Tune in each week to learn about the progress being made toward opening up the Social Web. With a revolving cast of characters, we'll have some of the key technologists working on building the Social Web to explain what is going on; but this isn't a show about technology. It's about explaining what's going on in the fight to make sure you have control of your data, your content, and your privacy -- and the freedom to access your stuff from all over the Web.
