Memorial Day is difficult for family members of soldiers who are classified as Missing In Action or as Prisoner of War. There are still almost 2,000 POW/MIAs from the Viet Nam war. Perhaps this Memorial Day, we should devote the day to them.

Visualize Your Network with Tweet Topic Explorer
Neoformix: Tweet Topic Explorer -- read entire post
Check out this cool new tool, Tweet Topic Explorer (TTE), developed by Jeff Clark at Neoformix. Using statistical analysis, relational trends and data interpretation, the TTE generates a word web or word cloud, with key topics ranked by size (larger topics appear more frequently in the Twitter feed). Colored clusters delineate words and people found together in Tweets,
Mr. Clark uses the TTE to get a quick idea if he wants to follow someone on Twitter. After quickly scanning the graphic word web (on the left above), he can click a word and see the word highlighted in both graphic and Twitter feed. Clicking on any user names in the text will generate a new TTE for that Twitter user.
TTE is a great tool if you want to connect to people that are geographically close, in a particular field, following or followed by people you know or other criteria. Well done, Jeff Clark.
Warning: This tool is addicting. I found myself clicking words and user names until I made myself STOP.

Your Runaway Information May Be Protected
Advancements in communication and technology, including smartphones, Internet cafes, social networking sites, text messaging and applications that share your private information, have outpaced the privacy protections afforded under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986.
Leahy Introduces Benchmark Bill To Update Key Digital Privacy Law
According to a study done for The Wall Street Journal, if you visit a website that has FaceBook, Twitter or other networking site share services enabled, you may be sharing more information than you think. Even if you DO NOT click the icons and DO NOT share the information with your followers, the originating site could still report that you visited to Facebook and Twitter.

WASHINGTON (Tuesday, May 17, 2011) – Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Tuesday introduced anticipated legislation to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), one of the nation’s premier digital privacy laws. Leahy was the lead author of the 1986 law, which was enacted to protect the privacy of Americans’ electronic communications.The legislation includes enhanced privacy protection for email and other electronic communication. Assess to these communications will be protected by a requirement for a search warrant based on probable cause. Protection will extend to geolocation information collected, used or stored by service providers, smartphones and other mobile technologies.

The widgets, which were created to make it easy to share content with friends and to help websites attract visitors, are a potentially powerful way to track Internet users. They could link users' browsing habits to their social-networking profile, which often contains their name.

Trapped by SmartPhone Obsolescence?
The next generation of smart phones is already available. However, your 2-year contract may have over a year to go. What to do? You can pay the early termination fee or buy an unlocked phone. However, if enough consumers made their frustrations known the carriers might make it easier to change phones sooner than every two years.
Are You a Prisoner of Your Phone Carrier? | Retrevo
Perhaps you will want to try prepaid phones without contracts next time your contract lapses.
Are You a Prisoner of Your Phone Carrier? | Retrevo
Retrevo’s Technology Life Cycle analysis engine looked at smartphones from March 2010 to March 2011and found that smartphones increased in power and added new features that moved many of last year’s phones one phase over from new to mainstream. At the current rate, we expect to see new smartphones with higher resolution displays, faster processors, and other new features displace the current phones by this time next year.
