[NetBehaviour] -> the myspace-event

[marc garrett]

Hi b xperimënts,

Lots to view - many images offering insights & contexts, one would not 
normally come across in a place such as myspace.

 >... i am not sure about what are they doing with my presence and the  
presence of lot of people. i don't know if there are robots getting into 
my pc, i don't know who is earning a crazy amount of money because of 
the adds in every single page, i don't know what is under the surface of
that "inocent and funny" software.

I wouldn't trust them at all, especially if Rupert Murdoch owns it. The 
issue of robots viewing and collecting data & tagging key elements 
within the infrastructure of myspace does offer many questions in 
respect of privacy and ownership of content, and the freedom of its 
future uses. Although, when things are put in a larger perspective what 
is not collected and tagged these days on the Internet? I suppose the 
greater problem regarding all this is how such information is used, who 
for and why?
