Microblogging has become a very popular way for people to share news and information or even live-blog in real time, but if you have ever tried to search through services like Twitter using only Google, the Twitter native search or any number of other services, you know how difficult it can be to find exactly what you're af (Read More)

People generally love sharing things, and Twitter has made broadcasting updates to anyone who cares to care on what you’re doing, wearing, reading, commenting on, eating, using, etc. a breeze; in 140 characters or less, even. It’s only natural to see so many users also share which music they are listening to at any given mo (Read More)

When Facebook recently changed its terms of service to no longer allow users to delete their data when they leave the service, it justifiably created an uproar. Just what is Facebook planning to do with this data, and isn’t it mine to delete if I wish. In a blog post, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tries to calm eve (Read More)

: This, Mr facebook, is bullshit - either you're keeping data for a legitimate reason (or at worst pretence), (e.g. for homeland security or whatever), or you're keeping data for purposes unintended by the originator, for example to sell it or otherwise exploit it, perhaps in the hope that it becomes valuable one day (people become celebrities), or to blackmail people. Whatever the reason, if a person leaves facebook and wishes that all references to them are removed then they should be removed, or at least hidden in the event that you have legitimate reasons / obligations for preserving them.The data is not yours to keep and I believe your terms of service make it clear that you make no guaranty or warranty to keep and protect anything, so therefore you have no obligation to do so. Furthermore, not only might you use the data at a future time for purposes unintended by the originator, but also the person or persons with whom it is shared may do likewise if it is not capable of being removed by the originator. To give you a legal example of what should be happening, consider the terms of a common legal document with which I am sure you will be familiar, notably, a none disclosure agreement. These agreements place certain obligations on the parties not to disclose confidential information, however, what is important here is that such agreements also require the parties to destroy all copies of shared data if requested to do so by the other. The effect of allowing deletions from facebook is to effect the same, i.e. when someone deletes data originated by them deliberately, then their intent is that all copies are deleted including those shared with others – if I remove a photograph or a misguided insult, I wish it to be removed from everywhere – not just my account. Lastly, I accept that there is a difference between data that is sent to someone else (e.g. an email) and data that is displayed for viewing (e.g. a photo I post in my photos), and at the very least if I delete something displayed then that should be the end of it. There may be a case for allowing the retention of data received privately, but I do not support the view that all data should be preserved in your archives, but most especially not on infinite display – is this facebook’s version of immortality? Logically and commercially your terms should be very simple in that if someone leaves and closes their account then all data originated by them should immediately be hidden and be deleted (say) 12 months later – this provides a period for people to reconsider reopening their account. Lastly, with regard to terminated accounts, these should be treated the same.

: Zuckerberg addresses only messages in this blog post. There is an entirely different paradigm for images, game info, "notes," blog posts, etc. This is what we get for our money--no control at all.

I think the news that Flash is coming to smartphones over the next year is a big deal. Most of the rich media experiences I have on the web are in flash. YouTube's success had a lot to do with its choice of Flash for its video player. Now almost every video site on the web uses a Flash video player. The same is true of audi (Read More)
