• Meg Pickard has spotted a rather aggravating security hole in Twitter's service... Messages that are supposed to be private are being exposed through the API Various people are irritated by this, particularly as apparently some of the messages are being indexed. I'm sure it'll be sorted out soon. But still, irritating. [Addendum: This is more of a security hole in Twittervision's use of the API rather than Twitter itself. See here for more details]
• The Open Rights Group is looking for more board members... Ideally people with a little spare time who are passionate and clueful about issues like copyright term extension, data retention policies, DRM and the like...
• Stonewall reports on a new survey on the UK's attitudes to homosexuality... Their concern - whether the shrill voices that argue against homosexuality are representative of the wider population. Their conclusions, pretty much totally no. Awesome. Sometimes the British really cheer me up.
