I agree. However, as far as mailing lists are concerned, a more appropriate use is authentication. As numerous enterprising folks jump on to various bandwagons to spread disinformation [1], and the most basic means of using the internet is also not trustable [2] - authentication is vital. But then, so is repudiation [3]. And deniability.

Still,this quotehttp://hermenaut.org/2010/05/13/%E2%80%9Chaving-two-identities-for-yourself-is-an-example-of-a-lack-of-integrity-%E2%80%9D/ is worth exploring: “You have one identity…The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly… Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity.” –Mark Zuckerberghttp://social.venturebeat.com/2010/05/13/zuckerberg-privacy/, founder of Facebook and enormous tool. I’m going to start with what he categorically rules out, the notion that it might be a good thing to have more than one identity for yourself (which, by the way, Michael Zimmerhttp://michaelzimmer.org/2010/05/14/facebooks-zuckerberg-having-two-identities-for-yourself-is-an-example-of-a-lack-of-integrity/ and Henry Farrellhttp://crookedtimber.org/2010/05/14/an-internet-where-everyone-knows-youre-a-dog/ also address). For example, when W.E.B. DuBois read Goethe’s “Two souls alas! are dwelling in my breast” in *The Faust*, he liked what he could make that idea say to the position of the American Negro, how the idea of “double consciousness” could so nicely describe the subjective position of being black in America. As he wrote in “Of Our Spiritual Strivings,”http://www.bartleby.com/114/1.html “the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world,—a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness,—an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. DuBois would vacillate for his entire career on whether this was a gift or a curse, but it may be that this ambiguity was what made it such a powerful analytic category, for it let him describe how power inflects identity by describing both the burden of being forced to occupy contradictory categories *and *the kinds of epistemic gift that this could actually impart. In other words, while DuBois tried to describe the psychic toil of being both white and black at the same time — since black people live in and conform to both a white world *and *a black world — he also argued that this gave black people a particular kind of insight into both worlds that white people lacked, a parallactic view through which reality became a three-dimensional Picasso painting instead of being defined by (and limited to) the single-perspectivismhttp://books.google.com/books?id=UGk8RH2qbkQClpg=PA32dq=the%20souls%20of%20white%20folk%20duboispg=PA32#v=onepageqf=false of whiteness. Which is why I think the categorical disparagement of people who don’t fit into a single category by a callow white male of Harvardian privilegehttp://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/7/2010/05/500x_n12001287_30280243_3855.jpg like Zuckerberg isn’t inadvertent or coincidental, and is worth lingering on. It’s the same sort of thing as when Christopher Hitchensfreaks out at the sight of a Muslim woman hiding her face from himhttp://zunguzungu.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/feminism-and-the-power-to-be-unrecognized/, even employing the same “you must be a bad person then” response as he does; an attempt to assert the cultural right to autonomy will send a radical interventionist like Hitchens into full combat mode.

First come, first served. Udhay http://mashable.com/2010/11/24/diaspora-preview/ Hands-on With Facebook Alternative Diaspora [PICS] Following a release of initial source code back in September, the first group of private alpha invites for Facebook alternative Diaspora were released to users on Tuesday. Mashable managed to snag some invites and has put together a gallery to show you the service and how it looks right now. The story behind Diaspora, which was started by four New York University students, goes back about six months to the first Facebook privacy crisis of the summer. Disillusioned with the social networking giant’s privacy settings (or lack thereof), the Diaspora team decided to try to do something different. Using Kickstarter, the team hoped to raise $10,000 so that they could start working on the project over the summer. In the end, the guys ended up raising just more than $200,000. Of course, six months is a long time in Internet time. The public backlash over Facebook’s privacy gaffes have largely died down — it seems to be an accepted necessary evil of being social in this day and age. The source code was summarily panned by much of the tech elite, but the developers claim to have taken the criticism to heart. Now that alpha invites are going out, how does the service stack up? Potential For Change or Disappointment? We want to be fair to Diaspora by noting that the service is in the very beginning stages of a private alpha. Thus, we’re not going to be too critical of the service’s lack of features — or the fact that attempting to log in using Safari will crash the browser, full-stop, every single time. snip -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))

Re: [silk] Diaspora
OK, I'm out of invites. But I think the people I invited will have ~5 invites each now. So those who still want invites, ask on the list. Udhay -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
