As I've mentioned before Robert Scoble had his Facebook account deleted a while back for trying to export his contacts to Outlook. When he asked CEO Mark Zuckerberg about it, he got a non-answer about spam.
Never mind that the export feature had been REMOVED from Facebook without explanation, they won't even talk about it now. I have an email exchange from their corporate communications department as well as their support people where they flat out deny or refuse to talk about it.
It's late and I'm tired, but expect to see more.
Meanwhile, play with this. Send us stuff, pictures, links, whatever at http://drop.io/capitolvalley
This is a service that I'm going to be talking about alot. They get privacy. You'll understand.
Also, I've finished Zittrain's book. Look for an all-encompassing article on privacy, portability and closed systems ASAP. Right now I have Tech Policy Summit issues to deal with (with Alex's help) but we have lots in the pipeline for you.
Hope you're enjoying the site.
