privacy is dead

Everyone on Facebook should listen to this speech at MIT by Mark Dery -- just the first 40 mins or so, after that it is another author, not relevant.  You can listen on your ipod, your virtual friends won't know;)

You know I am a big fan of Malcolm Gladwell, and found Jeff Jarvis's book "WWGD" fascinating and valuable, although I agree with the speaker that his desire to share every detail of his cancer online is disturbing.

Memorable quotes (memes), with links to others' takes on these:
"To Facebook you are not a client you are the product"
privacy is dead
privacy is dead -- start at 03:15
