Welcome, CBC Daybreak listeners
If you're coming here via the CBC Daybreak show this morning, here are some relevant links you might be interested in:
- The original post I wrote complaining about the inability to delete Facebook accounts - warning: strong language and vitriol...
- New York Times piece about Facebook's privacy policy, referencing my article
- Great article in The Guardian about exactly what's so wrong with Facebook
- Follow-up article in the New York Times about Facebook backing off on holding on to user accounts indefinitely (but still not allowing you to close your account yourself)
- Interesting and educational video about the process and people behind Facebook
- Reactions to my article from around the web
- Overview of various Facebook Privacy Policy responses
- All of my [mostly] non-Facebook Montreal related posts ;)
Apart from my apparent inability to pronounce "irrevocable", that went rather well.

CONGRATULATIONS! This is
CONGRATULATIONS!
This is great that more people will know about what really goes on and have the option to make an "intelligent" and informed decision about their website and softwares choices, knowing the implications that go along with privacy policy and personal data usage.
Thanks for keeping the information circulating!
P.S. A few hours later the word came out in French that City of Montréal is also disseminating "Des informations personnelles à tous vents" http://www.radio-canada.ca/regions/Montreal/2008/03/06/003-SPVM-Constat-Infoperso_n.shtml
As if it was not nightmare enough... http://www.radio-canada.ca/actualite/lafacture/252/rep2.shtml
March 6th 2008, a date to mark, transparency of information and wrongdoing.... I'll stay tuned to see development and hopefuly see the problems fixed.
cheers,

People are being encouraged
People are being encouraged in broadcasts to switch off theirn lights during "Earth Hour".
This is a totally irresponsible action which could cause a serious voltage surge with consequences such as the blackout that we suffered nationwide a couple of years ago.
A far better way of saving energy is to stop using treadmills which, in 40 minutes, consume as much power as a 60 watt light bulb in 24 hours.
