  • With a few deft maneuvers, Facebook is aiming to make itself the center of the internet, the central repository and publisher of what users like and do online.
  • Facebook’s main lever to get all this data funneled to them is a simple “I Like” button, which websites can embed on their pages with very little effort.
  • Facebook built much of this easy-to-use system on “open” standards, as WebMonkey’s Michael Calore reports, even as it sucks the data into a closed community. But those standards are used almost exclusively by Facebook, and ignore the work that’s been done by others to create universally understandable meta-data

    Ahhhh location applications....the possibilities, the privacy issues. Why wouldn't everyone want their GPS location displayed as public record? A good explanation of why only 7% of Americans are currently using location aps. The important things for consumers to know would be who could access their data and for what purposes. Not only who and for what purpose but another question for consideration is who would have policing authority over the data.
