Twitter and its Privacy and Identity Management Implications

by on 03-12-2009 05:33 PM

I recently started using Twitter (my link: http://twitter.com/MCasassaMont).


Twitter it getting more and more popular within (and across) organisations in particular for geographically distributed teams, to share their activities and whereabouts.


I am interested to better understand this tool, in particular in terms of its identity and privacy implications and long term repercussions for individuals and organisations.


I see some interesting research to be potentially carried out in the context of the Identity Analytics R&D project at HP Labs and UK TSB EnCoRe project.

Hi Marco,

concerning the implications of Twitter - it has lately been rather silent about these young, motivated phone-revolutionaries on Iran.

I assume they are currently paying a severe penalty for their use of SIM-secured identities, centralized social platforms, and a general lack of encryption. What do you think?
