second day at the CES - postscript

As I was leaving the BlogHaus, I had a chance to meet Robert Scobel, the tech überblogger. Today, Google and FaceBook decided to work together to establish a standard for data portability - precipitated by Scobel's attempt to scrape information from his Facebook account, his subsequent ejection from the FaceBook community, and, after a lot of negative publicity, his return to the FaceBook community (Scobel's side of the story here).

If Google and FaceBook agree on data portability standards, it should have a powerful effect on the way digital commercial media content is viewed as well as user generated content. It'll be the most important thing that happened during CES!
