Here are step-by-step instructions for people based in the European Union to follow to discover what data Twitter has about them. The entire process takes just a few minutes.1) Send an e-mail to privacy@twitter.com that includes the following text:

These are images of map generated entirely from GPS logs gathered by various versions of the Geoloqi sample application for iPhone and Android for the past 3.5 years. Once gathered, the data was run through a custom script that projects the GPS logs onto a 2D image plane. There is a little bit of logic to smooth out the lines and remove some (but not all) GPS noise.

AntiMap Log is a smart phone utility application for ‘recording’ your own data. Whether your out snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, driving, running, or whatever your into, AntiMap Log is a DIY solution for gathering real-time stats with your phone. The indexed data can then be used in conjunction with any of the free AntiMap post analysis applications (or your own creations) to visualize your every move.

We are afraid to get overloaded with traffic if we translate the guidelines and promote the free weather data service in English.

Poyozo is an automatic, personal diary system to help reclaim and consolidate your ever-expanding digital life with simple visualizations that you can use every day.

Rather than try to capture everything, system design should focus on the psychological basis of human memory. Abigail Sellen and Steve Whittaker

Often we do not know if there is a pattern before collecting enough data for revealing the pattern.

Not having a pattern (or more exactly having an anti-pattern) can also be encouraging. For example, the data can help me to control and remove as much as possible the routine in my actions.

The low cost of getting data (minimal action or no action) with contextualization of these data with different types of shapes, graphs, even poetry makes them interesting. If our effort is too high, we stop doing it.

On a more personal note, I really hate sharing these “stories-data” without my initial consent. All these services are like an invisible person in the room listening my conversation with these data. I like GPS (location broadcasting information system) because it is anonymous. I don’t like cellphone towers (identified localization system). They offer the same service, location, but the nature of collecting data is completely different.

Right now, I'm trying to decide if I want to run my own infrastructure for this stuff. From a privacy and creepiness factor it makes the most sense. At least for me. Maybe for anyone else, it's an equal kind of toss-up whether they'd be comfortable handing over their location data to me or to someone like Google.

Mobiscopes extend the traditional sensor network model, introducing challenges in data management and integrity, privacy, and network system design. Researchers need an architecture and general methodology for designing future mobiscopes.

The aim of the Data Protection Day is to give European citizens the chance to understand what personal data is collected and processed about them and why, and what their rights are with respect to this processing.

On January 28, 2009, the United States, Canada, and 27 European countries will celebrate Data Privacy Day together for the second time.
