According to USA Today, SUP is at the forefront of sociology. Our demands for privacy are not only outmoded and outdated, they are not socially beneficial.

I don't like this society. Can I please have interstellar travel now so I can go elsewhere?

I don't think the oversharing thing is a good idea, really, but I do think things are starting to swing the other direction (look at the Diaspora project someone linked here for a great example). I feel that the DW migration is part of that movement, and that it will only grow. A lot of us have already had enough of Facebook Nation.

Also, I feel compelled to point out that while I have no love whatsoever for what SUP has decided to do to LJ (which is why I'm here and not there), SUP is not Russia any more than Facebook is America.

And it's our homegrown American Facebook that will tell everyone how to find everyone else, but won't tell the cops who your stalker is.

What I find truly egregious about the "TMI is A-OK" tone of that article? Is their utter omission of the way corporations use social media to track and control their employees, and base hiring and firing decisions upon what we say online. Perhaps they left that out because it just wasn't possible to put a happy spin on it.

*sigh*

I'll still think long and hard about that spaceship, particularly if it's rectangular, blue, and dimensionally transcendental.

Wait, wait - I'll go with you! What planet are we headed for again?
