Privacy Diffusion on the Web: A Longitudinal Perspective | Semantic Web Dog Food
or the last few years we have studied the diffusion of private information about users as they visit various Web sites triggering data gathering aggregation by third parties. This paper reports on our longitudinal study consisting of multiple snapshots of our examination of such diffusion over four years. We examine the various technical ways by which third-party aggregators acquire data and the depth of userrelated information acquired. We study techniques for protecting against this privacy diffusion as well as limitations of such techniques. We introduce the concept of secondary privacy damage. Our results show increasing aggregation of user-related data by a steadily decreasing number of entities. A handful of companies are able to track users' movement across almost all of the popular Web sites. Virtually all the protection techniques have significant limitations highlighting the seriousness of the problem and the need for alternate solutions.

Facebook First Big Site To Really Embrace OpenID
Apparently it’s embrace the developer community day at Facebook. In addition to the news that they are making activity stream data available to third party developers, they’ll also be making an announcement around OpenID, we’ve heard. And importantly, the announcement is that they’ll become what’s called a relying party, meaning anyone with an OpenID (Yahoo, Google, AOL, MySpace are all issuers, and Microsoft is in beta) can create and log into a Facebook account using those credentials.

interesting because 2 or 3 years ago, they were complaining that the business was going limbo and they started to open the geisha to people not only on recommendations. More without more.“They are not performing for tourists,” said Mr. Yamamoto. “They are simply traveling to and from the venues of the party where they are working.”

Action Method Online
There are too many ideas in the world, and not enough action. Without organization and productivity, brilliant ideas never happen.
Action Method Online is a radically different approach to productivity, designed to simplify project management and life.
All of life can be divided into "projects" - the categories we use in our minds to separate and make sense of what we need to accomplish (e.g. "the party I'm planning," "client X," "event Y," "finances"). The Action Method helps you manage your projects starting with the most basic elements - always with an emphasis on action.
