 <title>Social nets do battle over profile data sharing</title>
 <link>http://smallinitiatives.com/blog/jay-small/2008/01/07/social-nets-do-battle-over-profile-data-sharing</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should have seen &lt;a title=&quot; Hands off our user data&quot; href=&quot;http://www.news.com/8301-13577_3-9843303-36.html&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; coming a few weeks back when I &lt;a href=&quot;/blog/jay-small/2007/12/20/new-social-networks-know-a-little-too-much&quot;&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt; about the sudden proliferation of social network invitations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The people at &lt;a href=&quot;http://linkedin.com/&quot;&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt; are not happy that &lt;a href=&quot;http://plaxo.com/&quot;&gt;Plaxo&lt;/a&gt;&#039;s new social networking application reaches in and grabs LinkedIn connections and profile data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, guys, many of the rest of us are not happy that we now must waste online time just to contain the proliferation of our own profiles and friend links.&lt;/p&gt;
