1. Twitter isn't private...
Tweets are saved by the Library of Congress for all to see. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/technology/15twitter.html

9. Only the public tweets. Direct tweets and protected tweets are not. Nor is the personal info...
...of the user.

If Google or Facebook get a hold of Twitter, that's over.

6. Now that I have my new android, google knows almost everything
about me anyhow, so let it be them. At least the information will be fully centralized.

Oh, and the HTC G2 rocks.

10. Wow. DUers trust Google more than Facebook? Google is just as bad as Facebook on privacy.
I set this up thinking that people would be conflicted about which one to pick. That's why I did not include 'other.'

I thought it would be 50/50.

Facebook may have a worse reputation, but get this into your heads. Google does evil.
