FACEBOOK: I like Varney & Co but … …
Sunday, January 11, 2015BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt)

I MADE THREE SUGGESTIONS:
(1) I miss the Varney “rant” that used to occur at the end of the program.
(2) How about a inet version that cuts out all the market checks and “filler”? Just the guests and opinions. I work for a living and can mostly only watch at night. I’d even watch ONE of each commercial. When I watch live, I really hate the same commercial played several times during the show.
(3) Don’t take so much time off. When I was off, so were you. Schedule you vacation better. (Laugh!)

SOCIALNETWORKING: “Privacy Theater”

Privacy Theater: Why Social Networks Only Pretend To Protect You
by Guest Author on December 27, 2009
Editor’s note: The following guest post was written by Rohit Khare, the co-founder of Angstro. Building his latest project, social address book Knx.to, gives him a deep familiarity with the privacy policies of all the major social networks.
*** begin quote ***
The philosophical question at hand is what rights do I have in my friends’ information. When I accept a business card from someone I’ve just met, I don’t believe I have the right to re-sell it on Jigsaw in good conscience (they’d disagree 18M times). If it’s a colleague’s card, on the other hand, I might take the initiative to forward a new lead, or even buy a gift subscription to a magazine. Does that constitute a violation of their privacy, or spam?
Social networks haven’t let their users make their own decisions on this issue. Through selective enforcement of their policies, some startups get locked out while big partners get exemptions. Power.com ended up in (and out of) court. Plaxo found out the hard way that they couldn’t assist their paying customers to OCR Facebook email addresses; or to synchronize with LinkedIn. It says a lot about LinkedIn’s draconian ToS that even with paying customers demanding it, Comcast hasn’t signed up for their API. Even if users manually download their own LinkedIn address books, it won’t even include links back to folks’ public profile pages.

Interesting post!
Unfortunately, it was posted during the holidays; many people won’t see it.
I haven’t found anything that will allow me to have a unified directory.
