Given the fine prints, changes in TOS & the type and quantity of content we are uploading on the internet, I see the need of a new business. These would be independent agencies that can go through all the fine prints, TOS, keep a record of complaints, track changes and based on all this, advise a user on 'privacy rating' & 'sensitivity index' of a web site. The revenue model will be primarily B2B: the logo & ranking of this service would be displayed by the web sites seeking to increase comfort level of existing & potential customers. With a tie up with Google/Yahoo/MSN they can even have a indicator right in the browser toolbar that intimates you of site's trustworthiness for your private data.

In response:
"For a site that claims 300 million users, 725 is less than a proverbial drop in the proverbial bucket"
Obviously of the 300 million users the bulk of which are not Canadians. But 725 is truly a paltry number. To me this says, "we (not me) surrender our privacy policy rights for the privilege of being a FaceBook member. The verbiage by FaceBook management will continue to maturate. The reason: to protect their ass not yours.

I didn't really have much to say about their privacy policy either. Looked like SOS to me. (That's Same Old [fill in the blank appropriately].) But I figured I'd try the comment link. With a little luck I'd get to scan the comments people had entered, and maybe that would help me notice something I missed.
No luck though. The link did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. So, I have till tomorrow sometime to comment, if I think it's worth the time trying to get a link to work, when I have much better things to do.
I really don't like facebook. Haven't, and still don't. I am only there because so many other people are and I need the extra connectivity to expand my consulting business. Sometimes the side just does not seem worth the trouble. I'd much rather spend time at Internet Evolution.

What is so special about Canada?( Canadians, no offense, I admire your country:))) Why Canada demands are so important? Are any country demands also important? If Mozambique, Livia, Kazakhstan ( I like, how much(c)?) demand to work on applications policy or change the design of Facebook, will it work?

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the old saying goes. So understanding how to use images in e-newsletters effectively is quite important. Here are a few tips to ensure that your images in email newsletters work to your advantage.
Arms merchant or army? That's a fundamental question for vendors in the cloud computing space. Do they just sell their tooling to any and all comers, who then become the actual purveyors of hosted infrastructure, developer platforms, and software? Or do they offer their own cloud-based services, perhaps even keeping much of their technology in-house for competitive advantage?
With the value of toxic assets on the rise, large U.S. and European banks face many challenges on the road to recovery. Sharing key information may help these firms effectively track the way forward.
Most of us go through life knowing that we’re expected to learn from our mistakes and improve. Those who are more conscientious about learning and personal improvement usually reap greater rewards.
Marketers are known for exaggerated claims and stretching the truth just a wee bit. But most marketers I know truly believe in what they sell. Their aggressiveness is based on a confidence that what they are promoting truly benefits the customer.
