Not ...hmmmm, seems like a not very horrible story. Not being insulting or anything, honest, but you said yourself that you subscribe to any number of social networking sites, so why would it be so unheard of to have generic information about yourself floating around in random places on the web? In this day and age, you will not be able to come close to controlling available information about yourself on the internet. Example, if I were a very vindictive person, and some guy did some inconsiderate thing while driving on the road, and I took care to note his license plate number, then that's all I need. For a very nominal fee, I would be able to track this guy down, including phone numbers, addresses, credit history, emails, family members, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on. It's not hard, and the scariest part, this guy does not need to have ever participated in any social networking whatsoever. So yeah, with all due respect, welcome to the 21st century, the Age of Information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10255179.post-11186492890977385282010-02-15T09:56:44.947-08:002010-02-15T09:56:44.947-08:00Thank you René for these links.

First of all, if application developers cannot accept the users' information they will probably not be as interested in building these apps as they used it, a lot of the value is in the amount of information you can get from the users. The second issue is that users can grant those apps access to their information; the catch here is that many apps will not work unless you grant them such access. It's actually a win-win situation for app developers and Facebook, they get all the information as they used to except now they are not liable <br />(neither is Facebook) because the users explicitly granted them the right to use their private information and do such thing as contact their friends on their behalf.chatteresshttp://chatteress.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10255179.post-13008087822158527692010-01-31T14:38:57.386-08:002010-01-31T14:38:57.386-08:00You are completely right.
