I honestly think all the big players have serious security and privacy faults. I think they are developing/maintaining services beyond their resources and skill sets because of the wild west landscape. All in all, I think Google has a stronger history of adapting to customer concerns. People have a higher standard for email/chat than Facebook but frankly I don't completely trust any of them with everything. We all should be wiser about items we post with any service on the web.

Heh thanks... I admire the wakeup notice for my limiting to 20th C
authors. This list if mine is a spontaneous preamble to an activity at
school that is only in gestation. I'm piggybacking the concept from a
teacher-librarian friend Jeff Yasinchuk

I will use your resources for sure. Thx

Good one Dan....just a minute while I wait for that attachment to load......ta da.......I too have a zillion apps and windows running...because I am always doing 4-5-10 things. As a teacher-librarian, I also get interrupted a zillion times an hour so I leave all my windows up and pick up where I can....Software that helps my slow web experience? Windows XP, Acrobat(always updating, IE8-always freezing, that ugly SIS app that runs Java forever, and Word2007 that takes forever to run for the first time when I get a docx attachment, PhotoshopCS4 which I love, wants a scratchdisk I've left at home, but you know, I can't multitask iPhone OS and I get by! :-) oh fun...love your show...you make Nora, what her name, look so good!

Well said Eric...can you come speak to my teaching colleagues who are pressing the panic button. The number of teens( and colleagues) who have been provoked to think because I was using Facebook is significant. How many doors of insight do we close by excluding specific media! It is all akin to 'burn the books'. thanks Al Smith

When you interview Seth, get his slant on 'digital divide'. How some colleagues at work are missing out in some rich workplace discourse with lagging communication skills. The rate of change is so fast that many capable and well-meaning colleagues don't contribute to dialogue because of email fatigue or weak technology skills. Even though I am 'savvy' and 'old' I am surprised by how many young workmates still are disengaged with technology; such that, they are not participatory. Their views are often lost or unheard through the web2.0 maze and noise. Love your show. Getting Godin is a coup d'etat for Spark!
