Danny
Danny wrote an interesting piece about the difference between privacy and secrecy, and how we have no conventionally private interactions on the Internet, but only secret ones.
I think this is fascinating. The discussion of "register" is particularly interesting; I know I have wished for the ability to have private and not secret on-line conversations, in Danny's sense.
My own web diary, which you are now reading, is a funny example of some of Danny's concepts. I used to write a great deal about things of mainly personal interest -- you can find entries literally about what I had for dinner. On the other hand, I got a lot of public interest when writing about free software politics (a legacy of the Advogato origins of my diary, but also because I care about this). And I got a tremendous amount of public interest when I started to write about trusted computing. Indeed, I have a copy of a message showing that there are or were people at Microsoft who counted regularly reading this diary among their job duties.
