To keep that posse of ours rooted in the local area and limit the size it can grow to at this point. While in general I have had the same thoughts on privacy and exclusivity, there's also the other possibility of our cultural notions changing gradually so that we lose some of the embarrassement of being constantly watched and tracked. We wouldn't feel as much need for the walls - it would be accepted as pretty normal for any middle-aged coworker of ours to have posted naked pics of 'emselves online. At the moment we are trying to come into terms with knowledge of celebs and friends using *gasp!* online dating sites. Everybody do it, yet feel ridiculously guilty about it. :) Btw, the dynamics of viral marketing and exclusivity slipping away constantly resonate with the sociological theories of how fashion and taste in general work. Depends what your field is if this is of any interest to you. :) Why do you think we speak Finnish on Jaiku?
