I'd love to hear your take on how Facebook, Twitter and Google treat privacy the same because I see three very different approaches.

It's not the privacy policies. It's how they're actually implemented. There are horror stories all over the 'net, even though Google seems to have started correcting their attitude.

To hell with Internet privacy policies. If you don't want your info spread all overt the net..think twice before you type it in the first place.

Interesting bit of information I ran across via "Schneier on Security"

http://static.whattheinternetknowsaboutyou.com/results.html

We analyzed the results from over a quarter of a million people who ran our tests in the last few months, and found that we can detect browsing histories for over 76% of them. All major browsers allow their users' history to be detected, but it seems that users of the more modern browsers such as Safari and Chrome are more affected; we detected visited sites for 82% of Safari users and 94% of Chrome users.

"Congratulations, we did not find anything in this category in your browser history.
Feel free to try our other browser history tests."

As I said, I think the current privacy rage is focusing too much on the type of rope that people are selecting to hang themselves and very little attention is being put on individual behavior.

Don't GIVE them your personal info, and they can't TAKE it.

Yesterday I received an email sent to all employees that the only browser we could use on our government computers, unless we have requested and received explicit permission to use another, is the IE provided for us. It mentioned that there were security concerns with some browsers, especially early versions, and mentioned Chrome among others.

We use IE6! It will be replaced by a customized IE8 someday ...

If one is able to code one can annoy others in ways they would never imagine.

None of the links on this page that I've tried work for me.
