Privacy issues discussed in W3C Social Web

After neglecting my blog for a while I thought it to be interesting to report on some very positive developments in the social web research and development community. According to discussions on the W3C Social Web, for example, but also due to some major research projects this year, privacy seemed to have climbed the ranks in addressing hurdles for the further development of the Web - and specifically for advancing social network applications. When attending some web conferences in 2007 and 2008, privacy in social network applications was still thought to be somewhat of an oxymoron. The year 2009 seemed to have put privacy on the top of the agenda for social web development folks. Good move!
