In response to the growing concerns that social network site user’s have had over privacy, Flugpo has sponsored the development of a plug-in to help counteract the collection and sale of personal information. This plug-in will be available through MyDataIsMyData.org. Selling private information for profit unbeknownst to the user’s is an abuse of their trust and MyDataIsMyData.org hopes to empower these user’s by allowing them to control the amount of personal information that they make visible.

This could just be the tipping point.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080418/ap_on_hi_te/blockbuster_facebook_6

Well, that makes ME super happy, thanks for saying that! Cheers!

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure it was the TechCrunch coverage that got me over here. I don't think I would have known about Flugpo without that link.

Here's the ZIP download...

I posted a review about it at Shakadoo to inform parents about it http://www.loveshakbaby.com/2008/04/privacy-relief.html

Coverage is good!
