Very true… not saying that I agree 100%, but I see your point and can imagine it causing a problem. And indeed, I think the main thing is that before posting any picture, any comment, anywhere, we have to be careful.

Thanks for your input Oneday, very appreciated.

ok you want my point of view. Before, check this interesting and controversy video about facebook, another social networking website:

With the development of technology and data circulating in a phenomenal speed, information privacy can be an issue. Valuable information like purchases, surfing habits, preferences and interests can be sold to corporations. My point is that even from the entire group, website can use infos from a specific user… technically tracking you without your consent!!

However, I’m not saying I won’t use internet or purchase online. It’s just that we need to think before “clicking”. Sorry if I might sound paranoiac or too philosophical for this blog but I still find this scary :S hehehe

No doubt yes, and I will soon be writing about Twitter as many have already started doing just that with Twitter info. Why do you think it’s scary?? I think that they usually do not use infos from a specific user but rather from the entire group and therefore it does not create privacy issues in my opinion..

Very informative post!

Other range of idea:
Over the years, Youtube has created a huge community. But in order to make money, would it be possible that Youtube could sell this user database as a market research tool to corporations…? Scaryy
