The mainstream press are picking up on the risks posed by social networking sites that add a location element, such as Foursquare. Yesterday it was the turn of The Sun to cover the angle in a piece called "Anti-social networking?"
(CBR covered this in the blog, "Foursquare, Gowalla, Brightkite, Loopt: a stalker’s dream?" back in June. That piece was then picked up by The Guardian, which ran a similar article and carried an interview with me in an excellent piece by Leo Hickman here.)
Elsewhere, Forbes covered the furore surrounding Google and its monitoring of wi-fi networks in an article that says the move was "inadvertent". This though contradicts what Google stated in a letter to data protection authorities in late April, when it said it did it deliberately to improve its mobile services for consumers. CBR had a rather different take to Forbes here.
Elsewhere there’s a nice piece on e-reader price wars here; and an interesting piece on how Europe is moving to green IT here.
