Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info? 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
I've complained in the past about the annoyanc e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo, the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco over at CBS Marketwatch has noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is collecting public information. However, if the info was given to an individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.

Holy cow, this example of people thinking they are talking to Maury is even better than the overhaulin' example. Despite the page saying clearly it was just one person's account of seeing a show, and despite the author making comments pleading with people to stop and openly mocking them, they continue.

Aside from my Google hypothesis, my other one of course is that people never read anything and Google results leading to blogs just makes that more obvious.

I can understand why some people might find pres ence of Dave wary because he can throw large rocks very accurately.  Well, if they are attending conferences to shake hands and smile knowingly, then they certainly wouldn't want Dave around.  But Dave's rocks are each like the Newton's apple IMHO.  You might get distracted by the blow or even get knocked out but, if you ignore all that and bite into the rock, you have a decent chance of tasting it's core which is rarely empty nor selfish and often very enlightening. At least that's the way it's been for me.

In my 2002 book, The Online Rules of Successful Companies, I said it was stupid to design Web sites that would work correctly only with the most popular Web browser. Yes, I told readers, over 90% of all Internet users today may use Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE), but not long ago 90% of all Internet users ran Netscape. Web designers and site owners who made Netscape-only sites had to scramble madly to redo their work when MSIE started getting popular. "Learn from this!" I said.

"Dear Valued Customer, You Are a Loser"

"Dear Valued Customer, You Are a Loser" 08/27/2004 01:45 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Wired News reviews a book about technology going awry. It's called De ar Valued Customer, You Are a Loser, by Rick Broadhead, and it sounds excellent. I've had so many bad experiences with technology-enhanced customer service departments that I can relate to these examples.

Published in May with little fanfare, the 315-page paperback is a compilation of more than 100 true stories of technological blunder and misfortune. Some of the stories are bizarre, some are pathetic -- but all are highly entertaining.

Take, for instance, the case of the Ukrainian businessman who put 50 new pagers -- a gift for his employees -- in the back seat of his car and then promptly crashed into a lamppost when they all began beeping at the same time. The culprit? A welcome message sent by the pager company to each of the pagers.

Dear Valued Customer, You Are A Loser

Dear Valued Customer, You Are A Loser 08/27/2004 02:00 PM
How many stories do you have about technology products that just don't seem to work -- and appear to be designed to have never work properly at all (or clearly designed with no thought towards how a customer would use them). It appears someone has decided to write a book about many, many such products. Wired News is now running a review of a book about the problems technology causes for customers, including a story about a driver who purchased 50 new pagers, only to crash his car when all of the new pagers went off at once with a welcome message. The book, Dear Valued Customer, You Are A Loser, apparently doesn't try to analyze the deeper causes of such things, but simply report them. Plus, it sounds like the author has a built in franchise. There are so many stories of these types of products, you can bet the sequel is already being written.

The bookmarklet solution to the password
problem

The bookmarklet solution to the password
problem 09/06/2004 02:38 PM

Anyone who makes heavy use of the internet has run in to the password problem: dozens of user accounts on sites with varying degrees of trustability, leading to an unmanageable proliferation of username and password combinations. The temptation is to use the same combination on multiple sites, but doing so opens you up to the horrifying prospect of a security flaw in one site compromising al of your other accounts.

I was burnt by this a few years ago: a small community forum on which I was a member was cracked, and my account was then used to log in to another larger forum to which I had administrator acccess. Thankfully no permanent damage was done, but it taught me a valuable lesson in password security. Since then I've maintained a number of different combinations each with a different level of associated trust: if my account on Joe's random forum is cracked it won't lead to the compromise of my Amazon account!

Even different tiers of passwords aren't ideal though, and that's why Nic Wolff's Password generator bookmarklet (via 43 Folders) has me so excited. Nic's bookmarklet pops up a JavaScript prompt box asking for your "master" password, then MD5s it against the domain of the current login page and inserts the resulting hash in to any password fields on the page. A single password can be used for dozens of sites without any risk of a compromise of one account affecting the others. It's brilliant.

There are a couple of minor flaws in the bookmarklet: the master password prompt is in plain text rather than masking your input with asterisks, and the bookmarklet could leave you high and dry if a site changes the domain on which their login form resides without you noticing. The first could be solved by extending the bookmarklet to append a "master password" field to the page using the DOM, while a solution to the second would require some kind of server-side store of the domains at which the initial accounts were created.

Quibbles aside, it's an ingenious solution to a pervasive problem.

Firefox problem with FeedDemon? Here's
the fix. 06/29/2004 10:02 PM

If like me you're using Firefox as your default browser, you may have run into a problem recently when using it with FeedDemon. Several FeedDemon users (and users of other tools that rely on Firefox) have reported that every time they try to use Firefox as an external browser, they get a message that Windows cannot find the URL.

Luckily, a FeedDemon customer posted the solution in the FeedDemon support forum:

1. Open Explorer
2. Select Tools and then Folder Options
3. Select the File Types tab
4. Select Extension: (NONE), File Type: HyperText Transfer Protocol
5. Click Advanced toward the bottom of the window
6. In the Edit File Type window, select open and click Edit
7. Clear the DDE message box (which should contain "%1")
8. Click OK, Click OK
9. Repeat for File Type: HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
