I am getting quite tired of all spam comments on my blog. I know some people think this is a clever way to get in links, and maybe it is. But, it’s also taking away the focus of what blogging is all about, namely getting a good conversation started and exchange ideas and opinions. I guess some people get tired of all meaningless comments and stop blogging all together. This would surely be a sad development. THUS, WRITE MEANINGFUL COMMENTS OR DON’T WRITE ANY COMMENTS AT ALL!

The privacy debate has been on since the dawn of internet, but it has accelerated when social platforms started to appear. But, do people really care about privacy issues? When you look at a service like Facebook you might wonder. Most people are aware of the fact that Facebook store all information about you in their social graph. Might not be that it is used on an individual basis, but still everything is there from your sociographic profile to the things you write in your feed.
I think most people will use services despite the fact that a lot of information about them is stored by the service provider, IF the service creates enough value. If the information is misused in any way, however, people might abandon the service quite fast. Facebook and other services are extremely dependent on peoples trust & have to be careful not to misuse that trust (which might be hard when you try to monetize the information in partnerships). But then again, if the user experience is great enough I think privacy is a non issue for most people, or what do you think?
