The outcry of concern over Facebook’s plans for your personal information is fast and furious.   Every day there are more bloggers, more journalists, more consumer advocates, more politicians….all concerned.   Some are scratching their heads over the usage and accessibility of personal information.   Others, like me, are more concerned over the economics of who should receive the value generated by your personal information.

This very cool, and very scary graphic is something you gotta check out.  http://mattmckeon.com/facebook-privacy/  (It’s best viewed in Chrome or Firefox). It’s an interactive 5 year progression of the default privacy settings for your Facebook account.     While checking this out, imagine the enormous amount of money that our information will be generating….for Facebook and their business partners.

It’s a personal information land grab.  The gold rush of 2010.  Facebook is planting flags in all of our backyards claiming this land in the name of the King.    I say…power to the people!
