I clipped this post from SmartMobs because it resonated with me. You should take a look at the original post and the replies, especially Arnaud Leene's discussion about personal profiles. I agree that my profile is mine and we should do everything we can to empower ourselves with the information that accretes around us during our day. Then we can make available to others what we wish!
Interesting comment of Blue Arnaud on John Battelle's widespread posting on the trail we leave on the internet.
In Arnaud's perception privacy is a lost case. It is impossible to keep your data private. A user should make his profile explicit. It is all about the ownership of this (private) trail information. Be in control over your own profile, Blue Arnaud suggests. This profile can be the basis for the social networking services.
