Up till now, so-called Social Networking services have been built as walled gardens, where people can interact only within the confines of that service. As people's preferences differ, they tend to be attracted to different services, roughly around the same kind of social objects, than some of there friends, family.
To keep up with everyone, people tend to just sign up on several competing services. Then, for example for microblogging services like Jaiku, Twitter, etc., they need to post to all of them to keep everyone up-to-date.
Let's make Social Networks be social, too. This talk will go into federating different social networks using the protocol behind Jabber: XMPP.
It will focus on sharing activity streams between services in near-real time using a number of XMPP extension protocols. For example, subscribing to someones Tweets from Jaiku and seeing updates appear in your overview or sent as a notification via IM as they happen. It will show you how to use these protocols to interact with other services.
Interesting topic, but try to get more energy in your presentation, and some more slides instead of talking a long time on something without any slidemovement (the projector even went to sleep mode because nothing happened)
