The end of social - O'Reilly Radar
Automated sharing is giving Facebook a treasure-trove of data, regardless of whether anyone cares. And Facebook will certainly find ways to monetize that data. But the bigger question is whether, by making sharing the default, we are looking at the end of social networks altogether. If a song is shared on Facebook and nobody listens to it, does it make a sound?

Buzz posté par Henry Story
Wikileaks could be thought of as the 2010 Conceptual Art masterpiece: It reveals and mediates contradictions and tensions from nearly every angle one looks at it. And not just any contradictions, but the key ones for this unfolding century. Let us look at some of these issues in detail.

Privacy and the User Experience
It never ceases to amaze me how we web designers — who would never trust a web host that doesn’t explain how it stores our sensitive data (user records, registration information, etc.) — are so quick to ask our own users to hand everything over with a mere "Trust me!"

For the geolocation part, the people are rightfully worried but target their attacks on the wrong part: the browser. The scenario is following this: 1. An app requests to share your location at this time t inside your browser. 2. “Yeah, ok, I’m fine, I really want to have the driving directions” 3. The browser sends along the MAC Address of your computer along other information helping to geolocalize you. 4. The Web service *keeps* this information in their database. 5. There is no way to opt-out the MAC address of your laptop. Yes laptop, not the router.
This one is a difficult issue. Most people might find it cool to be able to geolocate themselves, but not cool to be geolocated. What is the status of MAC address on our laptops. private, public? etc? plenty of interesting issues around that.
I understand the frustration of html5 used for everything, though every marketing departements use it for good or bad purpose and then the crowd is confused. Maybe the best way would be to create tools using “html5″ or more exactly APIs helping users to have a better control. For now all add-ons and browsers are suboptimal to help us in this task.
