Handling Social Data in EnThinnai
Aug 16th, 2011 by Aswath
In an article that was published in July 2010, Bruce Schneier categorizes Social Networking Data into six groups based on (broadly speaking) who generated the data, about whom, what data is that. He further states that each category will have different editorial rights and we will have different access rights in each category. It will be interesting to see how EnThinnai fares against this categorization. You can make your own comparison to Facebook and Google+. But my comparison says that with EnThinnai you are the master of your data.
