Facebook Privacy: A Bewildering Tangle of Options - Graphic - NY

Apple To Integrate Facebook Into iPhone OS 4.0 - iPhone Hacks Facebook is by far the most popular application on the iPhone. According to AppData, the Facebook app for iPhone was accessed by nearly 34.2 million users last month. Despite the huge synergy that exists between iPhone and Facebook users, not much has been done to tap this section of the userbase until now. Apple and Facebook have only partnered on small implementations like iPhoto uploader and iTunes sharing so far. However, that could change soon.

Can Mint commit to not selling our data? I came across a post on the Consumerist entitled "Do You Mind If Mint Sells Data Based On Your Transactions?" To quote the article (and the linked Reuters post): Mint's CEO Aaron Patzer spoke at SXSW on Saturday and said that the company is sitting on a gold mine of customer data that it may or may not sell. Here's how Salmon paraphrases it in his blog post: iPhone App “Am I Done?” Answers THAT Exact Question When Your Kids Ask You It Part of a parent’s role is to ensure that your kids brush their teeth well, take a shower or bath, clean their rooms, or just simply wash their hands. Most of the time, when you ask your kids to do these tasks, they wave a toothbrush within a few inches of their teeth, splash some water on their bodies or faces calling themselves clean or worst yet, pass their hands briefly under the faucet and say they are washed. And don’t let me even begin with the “have you cleaned your room” question…I truly love what they consider as “clean.” “Clean” in their minds is that all of their toys are “carefully” stuffed underneath the bed!

The American Prospect The chorus of pro-privacy, anti-Facebook bloggers is getting louder. Facebook wants to keep track of everything you "like" -- all over the Web and even in the real world. McDonald's has signed on as Facebook's first geolocation partner. About Facebook Connections "Connections." It's an innocent-sounding word. But it's at the heart of some of the worst of Facebook's recent changes. Facebook first announced Connections a few weeks ago, and EFF quickly wrote at length about the problems they created. Basically, Facebook has transformed substantial personal information — including your hometown, education, work history, interests, and activities — into "Connections." This allows far more people than ever before to see this information, regardless of whether you want them to.

Friend Your Foes - Adobe’s Conversational Apple Ad By Tim Leberecht - May 13, 2010 Now this is just brilliant. Adobe has found the only possible way to respond to the lack of love it is getting from Apple – EVEN MORE LOVE. To counter Steve Jobs' recent rant that Flash wasn't "appropriate for mobile devices" (justifying its ban from Apple products like the iPhone and the iPad), Adobe launched a new ad campaign today in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and several other newspapers and online news sites. The ad sports the headline "We ♥ Apple" and continues with: "We love creativity," and "We love flash," but "What we don’t love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the Web."

Diaspora Project: Building the Anti-Facebook Why can't privacy and connectedness go hand-in-hand? That's the question being raised by those behind the new Diaspora project, an ambitious undertaking to build an "anti-Facebook" - that is, a private, open source social network that puts you back in control of your personal data. Envisioned by four NYU computer science students, the Diaspora project would replace today's centralized social web (yes, they mean you, Facebook) with a decentralized one, while still offering something that's convenient and easy for anyone to use.
