I dunno about the rest of you but Facebook certainly took a wrong turn, at the wrong time of year, and is pissing off a lot of people. There are several blog posts on this blog dealing with much of this issue, and there are many more floating around on the web.
I just read two articles: Speaking of Facebook as an underground intranet… and I’m Ready to Bail on Facebook - the New Face of Evil.
Both these articles deal with Beacon and the issues of privacy. You see, this is the funny paradox about the web, and the part that fascinates me on one level, about our reaction to the “loss” of privacy. The internet, by nature is an open system, it is how it thrives and is what makes it so powerful.

I just posted a new comment onto the Attensa blog after I reread a blog post reviewing Particls, the coolest desktop news gadget I have seen, “The tool that is supposed to focus your attention ends up being a distraction. Articles flow by and if you snooze you lose.” I responded:
I felt the same way about Particls until I realized that it is okay if something gets away if that information is ephemeral and transient news.
However, Particls is smarter than you think. Particls will escalate the articles it seems to “think” you will really want to see.
So, while it is true that if you leave Particls on all day while you’re off-site, you may indeed miss something, I think the developers and Chris Saad realize the news is more like a pulse check than an EKG… you only need a quick taste of the Zeitgeist than you need a running, documented, history.
Particls is Buddhist: it realizes that we are in a constant series of now. now. now. now.
I told Chris that in a Particls’ river, “You Can’t Step Into the Same River Twice.”

From the Particls Blog, APML Conversation heats up:
“The APML conversation is heating up. The launch of Engagd.com has kicked it into high gear and bloggers are catching onto the idea of creating APML files to make their Attention Profiles portable. Chris Abraham has posted a piece over on Marketing Conversations.”

I love love; I love attention. I am an attention-seeker, especially when it comes to attention data,
“I’ve often wished I could use my ‘Janet, we have book recommendations for you here…’ information from Amazon elsewhere online. Apparently, (with thanks to the heads up from the folks over at Marketing Conversation) now I can.” Via Janet Johnson

You may have already heard of an OPML file. OPML stands for Outline Processor Markup Language, and XML format for outlines, and has evolved into be the format for storing, sharing, exporting, and importing RSS feed subscriptions. Most RSS readers support OPML files. That’s all cool. What you have probably never heard of yet is the APML file. APML stands for Attention Profiling Mark-up Language and is “an OPML file for attention data.”
