More than progress! I marked these in Ma.gnolia earlier today:

Feeling Betrayed, Facebook Users Force Site to Honor Their Privacy: Last night, Facebook backed down and announced that the Beacon feature would no longer be active for any transaction unless users click "ok."

Dan Schulz said on November 28th, 2007 at 3:39 pm: Jeff, have you heard of anything that could work with Opera (for the benefit of those that use it)?

The solution in Opera is to navigate to Facebook, right-click on some empty space, choose "Block Content", "Details", "Add", type in "http://*.facebook.com/beacon/*" and then "Close", "Done". Opera has had this content blocking functionality in its UI since version 9.0 and before that through manual editing of filter.ini since version 6.02.

What do we do? How about start listening to the people who are just a little skeptic (me included).

Facebook is a) based in the US and b) not getting any money for their service from users. The former is relevant because companies aren’t forced to a lot of customer privacy. And they have to start making money eventually — now, how do you do that with millions of detailed profiles at hand?

So please don’t complain if people keep saying “I told you so!”

What do you do? Ahem… stop using it. Or maybe people are so addicted to (one of hundreds of thousands) social networking sites that they can’t do without?

All,

Next week we (the VRM “gang”) will meet during the IIW 2007 in Mountain View.
The idea of VRM “school” is a 180 degree turn on the relationship between vendor and buyer.
Today the vendor is in control of the relationship with the buyer, They are keeping the buyers data for themselves, while this data is actually owned by the buyer.
The VRM line of thinking, is to hand back the control over their data to the buyer/consumer.

In my blog ichoosr.com/blog I will keep you updated on the progress.
But do not despair, we are working on it … ;)

Cheers

Bart
