Love what you stated here. Very similar to what Bonnie Nardi of UC Irvine stated in a new blog post: http://umichpress.typepad.com/university_of_michigan_pr/2010/07/bonnie-nardi... On Jul 8, 2010, at 8:31 AM, David Jones wrote:
I've grown more and more concerned about the power of companies like Facebook or Blizzard to dictate what constitutes "identitity" and how people manage their online personas. Mark Zuckerberg has used the rhetoric of "openness" and "integrity" to push Facebook's default stance of making their participants' data public. There are all sorts of scary questions about a company like Facebook deciding it has the right -- even the ethical obligation -- to determine what constitutes an online identity.
