[backstage] Questions so for FOWA so far...
To All --- What does freedom mean for the users and developers of web services? What is at risk? What should the free and open source software community do to ensure that software, and its users, stay free in this new technological environment? When will users have ownership of personal cloud data? Dopplr --- If Dopplr's offering isn't compelling enough to non-geeks, in particular with the potential recession, what will you do? Facebook --- what could facebook learn from Dopplr's data export and account closure procedures. What's stopping Facebook enabling OpenID login? What percentage do you believe actually read the end user licence agreement? Jason --- What do you make of Wikia's search engine? What do you make of the economic downturn for developers and start-ups? What's prompted you to stop blogging and do you think others could benefit as you have from stopping?

Re: [backstage] Questions so for FOWA so far...
Pure science is vital. Science relies on data, also, pure science questions the same data. Data is only useful if it can be relied upon. You can collect as much data as you as you like and probably end up with useless information. Imagine if you based you theories on flawed data - result is meltdown. My point is that internet users are all too aware of how information is collected about them. Do you ever wonder why they submit fake information? Because they can. We can all play the game. It's all about trust! On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 7:51 PM, Dom Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 1 Oct 2008, at 18:26, Ian Forrester wrote: Facebook --- 1.
