Jon Husband Riffing on Esther Dyson
Jon Husband's Wirearchy : Riffing on Roland Tanglao's post of Esther Dyson's comments on the dark side of social networking software.Caveat...I already know my conclusions will be construed as mushy and naive. Oh well.

Imagine a service that controls information about people, even if it only runs algorithms.
