True/Slant, an incredible news site with an amazing team, is closing up shop soon. I was privileged to be part of that team on the night the site launched last year and to be among the site's talented cadre of writers, many of whom are saying "Goodbye" here. I have been [...]

Ryan Tate at Gawker decided to sic a paparazzi on the man who brought an end to online privacy, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, over a long weekend. You can check out the photo shoot here. The photos must be a bit old because he still has his iPhone in them, [...]

Yesterday, several of the privacy thinkers that I follow on Twitter tweeted a piece on Slashdot about a big change at Facebook:
