Hotmail's social networking busts your privacy
,----[ Quote ]
| In its rush to take on Facebook and Google
| Buzz, Microsoft is now collecting and
| displaying personal information on your
| Hotmail page â information you may never have
| wanted to broadcast.
|
| Exactly how it's mining this information is
| something of a mystery, but if you use Hotmail
| or Windows Live, it's time to review your
| privacy settings â lest something you said or
| did comes back to haunt you.

Search Anonymization: More Hot Air from Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| As it stands today, Microsoft keeps sensitive search data for 18 months,
| twice as long as Google currently does (although Google's new 9-month rule is
| also a bit slippery in terms of the actual anonymity it provides). Why didn't
| Microsoft just agree to meet Google at 9 months, or even to meet Yahoo's
| 13-month limit, and then have everyone work together to get to the European's
| stated goal of 6 months? Because it can't. It's still a distant third in the
| search engine wars, even in Europe, and it can't afford to concede anything
| that may further erode its position.
