Data portability on the social web is enough of a conundrum that it has its own open workgroup,which, unfortunately, despite having good intentions, has not thus farmanaged to produce a consensus among its members (which include Google, Facebook and other big name social web services).[1]
Are you done? Are all of Google's products liberated?
No. While users can get data out of our products one way or another, we're about two thirds of the way through and we continue to work to make it easier to get data in and out of our products. [2]
Are you trying to start a consortium?
No, but we'd be thrilled if other companies followed our lead.[2]Are you creating new standards and formats for data?
No. We're working to use existing open standards formats wherever possible,and to document how we use those formats in a clear simple manner.[2]
It’s an extension of something called the “finger protocol”that was used in the earlier days of the web to identify people by their email addresses. As the web expanded, the finger protocol fadedout, but the idea of needing a unified way to identify yourself has not. That’s why you keep hearing about OpenIDand the like all the time.[1]
The problem with it has been that it’s just a string of text, nothing more. You cannot attach information to it to let others know a bit more about you — something vital for true identification. Then idea behind WebFinger is that you should be able to attach any information you choose to your email address.[1]
Supplying such detailed information as e-mail addresses and fullnames was considered acceptable and convenient in the early days of Internetworking, but later was considered questionable for privacy andsecurity reasons. Finger information has been frequently used by crackers as a way to initiate a social engineering attack on a company's computer security system. By using a finger client to get a list of a company's employee names, Email addresses,phone numbers, and so on, a cracker can telephone or Email someone at a company requesting information while posing as another employee. The finger daemon has also had several exploitable security holes which crackers have used to break into systems. The Morris worm exploited an overflow vulnerability in fingerd (among others) to spread.[5]

This experimental method refers to big, known brands where users were already logged in, it requires zero typing - just two clicks - and it takes advantage of the OpenID authentication opportunity to get quick permission to leverage the well established OAuth data swap to facilitate immediate personalization - at the same time, with nothing but 2 clicks required of users.
No new accounts, no disclosure of Gmail passwords to Plaxo, no risky account scraping and no need to import or find friends on the new service before immediate personalization could be offered.
Only 8% of the people who clicked to log in with a standards based 3rd party authentication ended up deciding to bail instead. That's the kind of ease-of-use that people presumed only Facebook Connect could provide.
