Socialcast on Tuesday is launching a revision of its group communication service. Originally released in 2007, Tuesday's update has a much cleaner and more contemporary interface, and liberally borrows features and ideas from social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and FriendFeed. I was very impressed by the demo I got last week. Socialcast appears to have a solid, lightweight product for business communication that could help workers (along with customers and clients) keep up to date with each other, and could also reduce in-company e-mail spam.
The underlying principle of Socialcast is that users enter their status messages, questions, or ideas into a simple text box. Users can also link their accounts to other services, such as Delicious, or to RSS feeds and blogs. As on FriendFeed, items that are discussed a lot stay on the top of the stack of items. Sound familiar? The system also has different default item types than a general-purpose nanoblog or personal feed aggregator. PeopleBrowsr.
Join Now. Paulcarr (paulcarr) NSFW: 1200 words absolutely, definitely not about Rupert Murdoch. One of the most tiresome group of people you encounter when you write a weekly column is the “suggesters”. Throughout the week, my inbox receives a steady flow of emails; from friends, from colleagues, but mostly from total strangers – all containing useful links to stories they “assume I’ve seen”. And always with the same suggestion: “you should write about this in your column!”. Worse than the suggesters are the “trusters”. They’re even more irritating because of their belief that they wield some kind of editorial influence.
“Trust you’ll be writing about this in your column this week. Can’t wait to hear your take on it!” In truth, it rarely pays to indulge the recommenders or the trusters. The perfect example of this is Rupert Murdoch’s “threat” to remove News Corp content from Google, and his “negotiations” with Microsoft to make articles from The Wall Street Journal and the rest “only available on Bing”. …which feels lazy, even for me. …oh.

Facebook once again finds itself at the center of a privacy debate, this time in the wake of the launch of the Open Graph API and so-called “instant personalization” features that leverage your profile information on third-party sites like Yelp and Pandora.
On Sunday, Senator Charles Schumer of New York penned a letter to the FTC, urging them to create privacy guidelines for Facebook and other social networking sites. The heart of the issue, in Schumer’s eyes, is that Facebook’s new features put the onus on users to opt-out, as opposed to asking them if they want to opt-in. However, Facebook doesn’t see it this way, telling a local ABC News affiliate that “none of these changes removed or reduced people's control over their information.” That’s true, though as we wrote in our initial review of the privacy implications of the Open Graph API, information is at times more viewable and available in more places than it was before.
