privacy settings

Have you ever wanted to share terabytes of data in public, or just a few gigabytes with a select group of friends?

With Diglo you can, totally free. The site is a mashup between a social network, a file-hosting site and a media search engine, allowing its users to share, search and download files all in one place.

Diglo is a relatively new service that can be best described as an unlimited hard drive for communities.

Facebook's default settings might leave you sharing more than you'd like.

If you use Facebook, and we know a lot of you do, here's a quick PSA about a change to their Privacy Settings that goes into effect this week.

A few days ago the uTorrent team updated the 3.0 release with several privacy features. Due to some unfortunate wording, the new feature caused confusion among users.

One of the new options, "do not share your IP with peers", led some to believe that uTorrent had implemented a new feature that makes BitTorrent transfers anonymous.

Ah, the perils of lawyers confused about the internet. Reader kb alerts us to the news of lawyer Jose Baez, who apparently has received plenty of attention for defending Casey Anthony, a mother who stands accused of killing her 2-year-old child.

Apparently, some of the blogs that are reporting on the case pulled some photos from Baez's Facebook profile and Photoshopped them to include in blog posts.

They say what started as a personal, close-knit community turned into an alienating experience. Facebook still has plenty of friends.Even amid last month's firestorm, which forced executives to hastily revamp the site's privacy settings, the social-networking juggernaut has held steady in membership and traffic.
