Wikileaks

This is amazing! Wikileaks is a place on the internet made to share critical infomation, documents and analysis.

In the spirit of the Wiki.  Here’s their own definition:

“Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interests are oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to those in the west who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their own governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact; this means our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by non-technical people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources”

Paranoia 2.0

Found this on Mike’s blog. I think it’s interesting and gives a good perspective to the earlier customer service post. But how much is paranoia and how much do we have to fear data mining? If they collect my data, to make content customized – I love it. But it would be nice to know the agenda of the people collecting it.
