The decline of #Livejournal is an important lesson about user #privacy on sites. Sure the site might be friendly today, but they might be bought out later and the new owners have all your old data.

There's a chance some Russian #LGBT people organised & hung out on #LJ 15 years ago, and now all that data is available to #Russia today 😨

These tech companies are keeping all our data forever (to make money), and it's a bad thing.

Spam-Beobachtung: Wenn man auf einem eigenen Server eine Email-Adresse <jc.szwe@example.com> hat und diese nur mal für ein Probe-Abo der "SZ am Wochenende" nutzte, jetzt aber dort eine "Werbe-Aktion" der "Brackmann Media & Data Limited" (@newsdialog.de) landet, was ist dann passiert?

Nun, entweder hat jemand Adressen bei der SZ geklaut, oder die SZ hat diese Adresse verkauft. Beides macht überhaupt keinen guten Eindruck, liebe SZ. Jetzt wird die Adresse halt gesperrt und Emails dorthin bouncen.

Was mir hier als Google+-Nutzer als erstes fehlt, ist, dass man seine Kontakte nicht in "Kreisen" verteilen kann. Dabei wäre am Bildschirm hier sogar Platz dafür, mehrere Kreise nebeneinander anzuzeigen.

Interesting: if I "favorite" someones toot, s/he gets a "plop" message and a notification in its stream. If I remove the "favorite" again, nothing happens on the receiver's side.

So one can "favorite" certain toots and sometime later still do a "cleanup" so the favorites column only contains stuff for later perusal.
