Where to Gather with Your Friends
p
I almost did it. google plus seemed like a great idea. I am recently deeply disgusted with facebook for continuing to host some horribly misogynistic pages despite petitions asking them to remove them (you can see article in the guardian online or ms magazine). So, I thought I could switch to the google social networking tool. What was really appealing was that it apparently was going to have a a href=http://www.natter.com/video chat/a where up to four people could speak to each other at the same time (don’t take my word for this, it might have been some sort of Chinese whispers!)/p

I had this great idea that I would be able to organize a collective camping trip with all of the people that I love. We would get together regularly via the chat mechanism, then we would decided where to go that was equidistant from all of us. I was thinking that Iceland in the summer would be great. It would be like a social networking family reunion all made possible by the magic of google plus./p

What burst the bubble was the realization that having my social network integrated with one of the most used search engines could completely violate my privacy. It is entirely possible to opt out of your google plus profile being indexed by search engines. It is however, very easy to let it happen and then pretty soon people you havenrsquo;t seen in 20 years could do a google search and find out too much personal information. If you donrsquo;t opt out, your photo albums on Picassa and your public profile would be searchable as part of the google megopolis. I am still completely committed to organizing a reunion with friends from both sides of the Atlantic, I just donrsquo;t think google is going to be the tool for me to use./p
