Mark Zuckerburg: the Ted Danson of the Internet

Look....

Who doesn't love a good conspiracy, or fast forwarding to all the good parts everyone's favorite Orwell novel?   

I'm WITH you on this whole "Facebook privacy invasion" thing. 

I can just feel it.  Pretty soon, Mark Zuckerburg is going to actually charter a yacht, get a case of Crystal, fill it with all my ex girlfriends, head over to the south of France, and start uploading real time pics of the trip - while I see "Complements of Riggs" show up in my newsfeed, along with the bill from my credit card company.

I get it.  They know too much about me.

But here's the thing. 

I don't mind this whole privacy thing, and neither should you....that much.   

Take a look at Fred Wilson's post on the topic today and he makes some pretty insightful comments.  Like anything else, the privacy people are so far gone on this one you're starting to sound like the other kind of fear we've been getting shoved down our throats - that someone who can't afford a bus ticket in their own country is going to come to Kansas and kill you in your sleep if we don't stop them at the source.  I agree there needs to be some controls, but let's not get too carried away here.

After all, as Fred alludes to....

You WANT to go where everyone knows your name...:)

(Does this mean that Mark Zuckerburg is the Ted Danson of the Internet?)
