The Gillmor Gang ? Danny Sullivan, Doc Searls, John Taschek, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor ? endured technical glitches and a dissection of the disruption formerly known as TV before settling into a debate about privacy. I know, sounds like the usual nonsense, but this show was high quality nonsense. I forget who brought up the famous iPhone/Android hidden recording file crisis, but things quickly got out of hand when one of us suggested that was a feature not a problem. It turns out that not that many people are aware that when we are on the Internet, everything is recorded. For those who seem surprised by this, all those free apps are actually there to harvest our clicks, searches, and other gestures of our intent. As Doc Searls pointed out, how else does Google make money except by random clicks on Adsense adding up to billions. It's only when we can't figure out how to delete our wanderings that people get upset. Me ? I count on being surreptitiously tracked so I can go back and figure out where I was last week.
