  is so many people who are concerned with privacy giving away all this information for free whereupon google can and likely will sell it to governments and commercial interests. There are quite a few companies who wisely forbid employees from participating in this sort of information giveaway.

    Everything in my profile that is either already public knowledge, or random trivialities which I am amused at having in my profile, or sarcastic untruths.
    
    As far as giving away ideas in community forums, I can't say I've seen one forum yet that had a serious discussion going on except the "What Should Orkut Do" bitchfest (so many Jerkcity references though!).
    
    Orkut is just a bunch of nerds running around in a Google-hosted playpen.

      Orkut is just a bunch of people who seem to have never left highschool judging by the whole pointless cliqueish masturbation of it all. If you like about your identity, it makes it even more pointless. I would guess that orkut also is able to acces the google and amazon cookies in your browser which are likely to provide a lot more information.

    Well, yeah, but TIA already took all my info and said it was "well protected". Do you mean that I shouldn't trust large organizations interested in money and power?

      Well, always remember that it is not what you know, rather who you know that gets you where you are going in life. Think about that :)
