Facebook is Contrite?
Mark Zuckerberg claims that Facebook has "missed the mark" on privacy controls and promises to deliver ones that easier to use.

Web 3.0 Explained
Check this out...it's a page that attempts to explain Web 1.0 vs 2.0 vs 3.0. There are a lot of videos to watch as well.
What is 3.0?
1. Integration of all technologies
2. end of the desktop
3. smart phone -- truly smart (knows history and location)
4. Bing - Decision engine not just search engine
5. semantic web = human language processing /recognition / makes decisions and thinks like a "human being" (not machine returning lists of data).
6. http://www.wolframalpha.com/
7. Geo-spatial
8. total integration of data and personalization of info/data, inc my own history.
9. I don't need to think!!
What's the problem with this???
1. Big Brother! maybe not... it's 'just' data, algorithms, and aggregation technologies.
2. creepy? "it's only creepy because you're not used to it yet"
3. what happens when i need to think?
4. are we all "addicted" to technologies -- we can't really de-link
5. I'm impatient -- are we lazy and impatient? We won't wait and we don't want to process it ourselves.
6. what about human knowledge and human activity???

Mobile Usage
http://mashable.com/2010/04/22/mobile-social-networking-2/
I found this article that talks about how over half of mobile internet usage is on social networking sites. It's interesting because as more and more of our internet usage becomes mobile we are also greatly increasing our social networking usage showing its importance in our culture.
