    Organisation that monitors the Botnet size 24/7. Its quite interesting that as the internet and networks continue to grow so do the 'bandwidth leeching' botnets that are only on the rise even the efforts to shutdown specific bot nets. Check out the graphs across different time spans.

    The founder and Chief Executive of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, announced at a recent conference that Facebook's Open Graph project will soon enable an even greater degree of personalisation as people surf the net. I think this probably has implications for user experience, in terms of viewing popular sites through the prism of social networking - and it gives sites more authority to store data about individuals. Because Facebook seems to be so pervasive nowadays, it seems like we won't have much say in the matter...

    Also business implications. This is direct competition for Google's increasingly personalised 'user experience', not just Buzz and the raft of location services but the uniquely personal search that has slipped quietly onto our browsers. How can we be concerned about what governments know about us when we've handed willingly to businesses so much more information!

    We do have a choice - don't have a Facebook account. It may make you a social pariah though ;)

    Allison, that's a great point, I've tried to quit using the site but I stop when I realise that I won't know about upcoming social events - unfortunately its the primary means of communication used by some friends!

    Yes and I think Facebook take full advantage! A lot of my friends have been posting notes on FB about changing privacy settings now that the new features have come in. So, people are trying to resist but in a more subtle way than dropping out of FB altogether.

  • 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

  • You can opt out of some of this through Facebook’s increasingly arcane privacy settings, though most won’t do anything to stop Facebook’s relentless push to make people’s profiles public.
