This looks at the new atmosphere of sharing all the mundane details about our lives, facilitated by sites such as Blippy, which broadcasts details about shopping habits, and Foursquare, that uses GPS to alert contacts to your location.

Concerns are also raised about potential identity theft and whether accessing every scrap of data left behind by users is actually valuable.
