before everything - if you answer me please respect the REPLY-TO and do it off list, it's off topic here.
there is a new Google fashion social networking venture thing called Orkut. I know there are a few geeks from this community on it, so I post this here, but I don't intend to open a discussion on the list. I got invited, it's tempting to try it out but 14 years on the internet made me a bit paranoid of such ventures. Google offers webmail with huge storage but you pay for it with the content-specific ads that dig the text of your private mail. now they give you a social network but apperently if you dare discuss anything meant to be private on it, gOOgLe OwnZ J00: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/02/05/google_revives_discredited_microsoft_privacy/ http://www.orkut.com/terms.aspx So, dear friends in geekdom, freedom and privacy lovers, am I paranoid without reason? your input and opinions are wellcome off the list, and sorry for the interruption. -- Ambassador of Funkytown Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
