re: Re-thinking on Social Networks

Looks I have a follow up on the thought of de-centralization of Social Networks over the web a bit.

It appears if the social networks are really de-centralized and each person has their own unique identity on web with which their social DNA is linked up, such association and data view can be a very good value addition to the Web, that helps build web of trust, reference and more. I wonder if this can be a scope of OpenID too ?

Hypothetical user-case: users of any xyz dating/relating site links up in a social network seamlessly, merely just by joining the site using their unique webID.

You know, that does sound alot like what http://www.dataportability.org/ is trying to accomplish. At least on the data end of Social Networks.
