Privacy is Delicious
Orly Yakuel dosn’t like the privacy features on del.icio.us :
I can’t say I’m not disappointed. I always loved the fact that del.cio.us is a SOCIAL bookmarking service and I think it might lose a little of the site’s charm.
If you don’t want to share links with other people, don’t I think if people have the option NOT to share, they’ll think twice before sharing.
Orly is wrong and right at the same time. Some people want to publish their favorite links, while other using del.cio.us as a method to save information across several computers. Limiting the use of del.icio.us for the uses Orly approved will limit the potential of this service.
But she is also extremely correct when she is worried that people aren’t going to share everything and all the time. I’m growing wary with all the socialist voices leading the so called Web 2.0 . If you want to share, it fine with me; if you are going to build virtual communities chanting the slogans about the great revolution, enjoy. You have no right to force everyone else to join. I, for once, refuse to see the light.
