The New MySpace Profiles: Granular Privacy, W3C Compliance
MySpace launched "Profile version 2.0" late last night and a number of the changes are quite significant. The two biggest in our minds are the ability to set different privacy controls for different parts of a user's profile and the near complete adherence to W3C HTML standards.
As MySpace develops, so develop the next generation of mainstream web users and thus the web at large. Whether you're a MySpace user or not, it's worthwhile to keep an eye on what the company is doing - especially in terms of user experience.
Flickr: Public vs. Private Around the World, A Map
Guess which US state has Flickr users most likely to post their photos with privacy restrictions turned on? Utah. Think you can guess relative emphasis put on privacy by Flickr users in South America vs. South East Asia? How about Hawaii vs. Alaska? (That one might surprise you!)
I'm here at a small meeting of the Yahoo Product Advisory Council and while most of what's being discussed today has been put under Non Disclosure Agreement, the presentation by the Yahoo! Research Team can be blogged about and includes at least one really interesting visual about Flickr privacy levels around the world.
Who Will Control Your Data in the Web 3.0 World?
"Imagine what your cell phone could know [about you]," pondered Sandro Hawke (Semantic Web Developer, W3C), at the Web 3.0 Conference and Expo in Santa Clara, CA this week.
"It hears everything that's going on around you; it knows where you are, it knows the motion of your body, it sees what's in front of it, it knows your contacts, and it hears your phone calls". Imagine the possibilities.
Bringing Data Portability to a Website Near You: An Interview With Chris Saad About JS-Kit
If cookies were the multi-billion dollar magic for much of the web's first iteration, tiny technologies to power conversation could play a similar role in the future of business online. More fun than that, though, is the innovation we hope to see in the technology of conversation.
Comment and review plug-in suite JS-Kit announced today a new round of funding and the hire as an adviser of one of the web's most forward looking innovators, Data Portability Working Group co-founder Chris Saad. Though JS-Kit has a funny name, the company has a big installed base. In addition to being very easy to install, it recently partnered with red-hot content sharing service ShareThis and acquired the early market leader in plug-and-play commenting, Haloscan. What does the future look like for JS-Kit and how might that relate to the web at large? We asked Chris Saad for his thoughts this morning.

Evernote Hits a Homerun With API, Data Portability
Note-taking and Optical Character Recognition service Evernote may not have a whole lot of users yet, but the users it does have absolutely love it. There's a whole lot more to love, and more reasons to use Evernote, with a slew of announcements the company made today.
Freshly announced were support for automation through scripting, full XML data imports and exports and the much anticipated Application Programming Interface (API) that will let 3rd parties integrate Evernote into their applications.

The much-awaited Application Programming Interface (API) for movie site Netflix will launch tomorrow, according to an email from the company. As HackingNetflix found out last week, the launch event will occur at the AJAX Experience conference. Details are listed below. It looks pretty good, but there are some major limitations, too.

It's Time for a New Terms of Service Regime
Yesterday's flare-up about the Terms of Service for Google's new browser Chrome, followed by the company's rapid backtracking on the demands it was making of users, left many people wondering about Google ToS in general.
Is it ok for service providers to require that they be exempt from the copyright norm of no re-use without explicit permission? We don't think it is.
