Proceed from the waggy labrador's tail of over-excitment to the droopy long bassett's tail of embarrassment. Do not pass popularity. Miss zeitgeist by one mis-placed word, have to explain yourself again, and again.

What is privacy? Do we mean secrecy? Or availability to a smaller public? Yeah, boundaries, that are fuzzy, hyperlinks, therefore the cost of maintaining a network is reduced. The cost of telling a secret is reduced, just like file sharing. Secrets that would die before are now recorded and maybe even have URIs. The long tail of embarrassment.
