Thanks. Now I have to go learn about Gowalla and Foursquare (besides that being Doug's favorite game at camp). I got Facebook down. If you aren't a friend, you can't see anything. I'm probably overboard with that though. You are so smart. Thanks. Now I have to go learn about Gowalla and Foursquare (besides that being Doug’s favorite game at camp).

I already use Gowalla and Foursquare for that. I don't want Twitter tracking me, too. Also, I don't use Foursquare to broadcast my location if I'm by myself. Something about that is a tad creepy. The good news is, all of that stuff is optional at this point, so if Tweeting AND publishing your exact location in the world makes you uncomfortable, you can always opt-out. In the meantime, Facebook is doing stuff that really should make your skin crawl. Be sure to re-set your privacy settings, as now they are opening up your info to the whole world. I'm afraid most folks will learn about this new Facebook "feature" the hard way.

I have a "public" question for you. What do you think of the new geolocation stuff that Twitter is doing? What about privacy and protection of yourself. Does it scare you? Do you use it?

Needless to say, this is a place that not only welcomes but celebrates dialogue ... would that it weren't so rare.

I think that a lot of would-be-commenters (or questioners) struggle with the middle-school-student syndrome...or the "I want to say or ask this, but I don't want to look like an idiot in front of everyone" syndrome. As we both know, whenever you throw something out there in cyberspace, anyone who happens upon it can have a negative reaction and blast you for what you've said...and I think that some people just don't want to risk that. But--of course-- none of us are going to select the "dumb" answer on the survey, because we are waaaaaay too cool for that. Duh. :) I think you hit the nail on the head in your survey.
