Dear nettimers,
I know, there are tons of examples of this. I just want to know more what you
think of it, in particular if you happen to live there, or come from the Bay
Area.
To me, it is somehow super clear that Facebook is evil. Not hard to understand.
But Google? Why are tensions rising
I don't think this is a Bay Area thing. Google, Schmidt, and even Cory,
operate at a supranational level, traveling from place to place and speaking
and working all over the globe, without any regard to national borders or local
cultures. They live in cyberpsace, literally. I'm sympathetic

As the saying goes, where you stand has a lot to do with
where you sit. Outside looking in? Vulnerable to the
politics of envy. Inside looking out? Vulnerable to
the politics of manifest destiny, personal edition.
