I have to say that I am quite concerned over the recent Facebook privacy issues. Years ago I wrote a number of posts about the need for a secure cloud containing our personal data that is accessible to third-party websites and web services. I was basically talking about Facebook Connect and the social graph.

I want to be able to expose certain pieces of information to certain parties based on context and have full control over what is shared, how and it’s shelf-life. It pains me to see how Facebook, ever-intent on monetization, is pulling all sorts of sketchy moves to control and monetize your data. I still think that Facebook is the best source of dating profiles, but the privacy issues and data ownership problems continue to worsen.
