I don't think it's a particularly viable business, it might be a good feature of a larger business that was focused on helping customers navigate the complexities of modern life; but on it's own, the value in one instance is too small to motivate purchasing.
- atldev 15y agoAmazing. This is why I like HN. I just wrote up a quick note with an example image here: http://clearsignal.posterous.com/do-we-value-our-laundry-more-than-our-privacy http://clearsignal.posterous.com/do-we-value-our-laundry-mor... When I get back, link to actual example. Thanks!
- tylergb 15y agoIt's not a viable business, the potential for revenue generation is very small without resorting to questionable tactics (see TRUSTe). I was hoping it would function more as a community effort with the human-readable TOS hosted on the relevant site much like Creative Commons. Sadly I think the human-readable TOS is going to have to come from the business itself (or possibly from an established user-rights organization, i.e. CC or EFF). As for Path's storage of user contacts; while I find the practice sketchy, especially since I just signed up for Path and had no idea this was happening, but not unexpected especially considering facebook's status as a 'role-model' for privacy issues. Side-note: Khula Project in its current form is deadpooled. I do plan to relaunch sometime in the future with a project more focused on information distribution.
