At a time when identity theft is getting easier, I fail to understand why so many people are so completely visible in what they do both at work and in their personal lives. The likes of dopplr scare the hell out of me. I couldn’t agree more about the lifestreamer getting burgled point.

We live in interesting and exciting times, although I agree that sitting close the proverbial fire sometimes gives us the mistaken impression everyone is experiencing the Web and all the fascinating things happening. Mark Jeremy,

Lots of food for thought, my friend! We live in interesting and exciting times, although I agree that sitting close the proverbial fire sometimes gives us the mistaken impression everyone is experiencing the Web and all the fascinating things happening.

If a user is afraid of being cyberstalked - don't broadcast your information in FriendFeed. Sites have to be added by the user. In otherwords, don't put the location of your door online and you can keep it unlocked. I still think my point holds.

You choose what sites to broadcast into FriendFeed. As for the digital divide, that is an interesting subject and is my one complaint about FriendFeed - its use is most evident to the tech-obsessed "early adopters" who use multiple social sites and are feeling hassled with checking in on them all the time. If all you do is blog and twitter FriendFeed has limited utility. So from that perspective - that the masses aren't getting into all these sites, and probably never will - I do agree with a divide forming. Not sure I agree with the invasion of privacy argument.
