The last thing I wanted to do was get a Facebook account. But, here I am working to build a social media company, I had to join. Then I found that I had to join Twitter, Meetup, Filcker, Hulu...  then there were my utilities, phone every one needed a piece of me. It is truly too much to keep up with, there must be a better way. Not now but soon...  I have not seen anyone talking of this as of yet, but I am certain that they are. Have your server connect with the outside world... not you!  How-what?  You would need to only go to one location your Drupal site, there it would connect to to all the services that you use.  You could keep all data on your server and only give our what you choose. For example your bank account would automatically post to your data base. Your phone bill would show up on your site, and you would have a Facebook window on your site.

  You would only go to one place and you could customize how you want it to work for you.

Drupal is a very secure system, and can be made extremely secure. But so was the State Department System that was recently compromised and its documents placed on Wiki leaks. Young people are giving up on privacy, everything is public and will become more of the same. Best advice is, do good, and use Drupal to keep your data on your server, not theirs.

Thanks to the internet, we now live in public. With more than 750 million people (and half of all Americans) on Facebook, and over 100 million Tweets echoing daily from Tahrir Square to the Mall of America, our personal lives are now shared globally; but is this new openness a positive change? Jeff Jarvis, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at New York’s City University, will examine the tension between privacy and openness and how it is transforming our communities, identities, businesses and the way we live. Should we embrace technological advancements for creating a more efficient and connected world, or fear that our increasing dependence on this invisible network may be to our detriment?

Wired magazine's personalised covers

From... http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-01/31/wired-magazine-privacy-cover

A few selected readers have received an ultra-personalised cover on their issue of Wired this month. We wanted to see how much personal data we could easily find about them from publicly available sources -- as a means of emphasising some of the points made in our cover story by Andrew Keen, Jeff Jarvis and Steven Johnson on "what the end of privacy means for you".

Wary of scaring off our entire readership, we sent the personalised copies of Wired to some randomly selected subscribers rather than all of them, as well as to a few people we know with some media influence. Well, the media can take a little scaring.
