if so much can be done by twitter in terms of alerts and information logistics, how much could be done by something like Mine! that is predicated on ability to control streams of data

Epeus' epigone: How Twitter works in theory

excellent post on Twitter by Kevin Marks explaining its social, phatic nature. Also insightful is Bob Wyman's comment about recevier/sender controlled messaging. It made me think that Twitter is the first receiver controlled communication. Subcribing to blog feeds is also receiver controlled but less communication and more information managment. Mine! might take this a step further.. need to ponder more.

cloud data mydata mine!

Before, the bad guys usually needed to get their hands on people’s computers to see their secrets; in today’s cloud all you need is a password.
There have been thousands of such requests lodged since the law was passed, and the F.B.I.’s own audits have shown that there can be plenty of overreach — perhaps wholly inadvertent — in requests like these.
3 more annotations...
- The cloud can be even more dangerous abroad, as it makes it much easier for authoritarian regimes to spy on their citizens.
- The Supreme Court declared in 1961 that a police search of a rented house for a whiskey still was a violation of the Fourth Amendment privacy rights of the tenant, even though the landlord had given permission for the search. Information stored in the cloud deserves similar safeguards.
- But the most difficult challenge — both to grasp and to solve — of the cloud is its effect on our freedom to innovate. The crucial legacy of the personal computer is that anyone can write code for it and give or sell that code to you — and the vendors of the PC and its operating system have no more to say about it than your phone company does about which answering machine you decide to buy.

Spying On Myself (continued)

I want at least the same. But how about more than a single feed, how about as many feeds as you feel like depending on who you want to share your stuff with. That's what we are working on with Mine!.

Imagine if you had a single data feed, fredsactivity.xml, that was hosted on the web and you could share with web services. I'd give it to Amazon to get better recommendations. I'd give it to Google Reader to find interesting blogs to read. I'd give it to Twitter to get better recommendations for people to follow. I'd give it to Netflix and Fandango to get better movie recommendations. I've give it to Goolge to get better search results.
