Yes, I see your point. How can federated services interact when things are hidden from them? And Fab wrote: | | One could make the case that microblogging isn't about privacy anyway. Well, public microblogging at least... ;) | | Fab It's not about privacy, but it is about messaging and people like private messages. Open and private are not mutually exclusive. It's like having a private conversation in a public park, hence direct messages. It is interesting that people's tolerance for openness seems to be higher in the microsblogging world. On facebook anonymous users and friends see different things, on microblogs it's all hanging out for all to see. This brings up an interseting licensing question. If I agree to the terms when I register that all my text and files are under creative commons attribution doesn't that mean that everyone has a right to read my direct messages? Ahoy, Jason
