from MIT tech review highlights smartphone apps that are designed to help keep social information private. I think this is a great idea. Of course, you have to trust that they are going to do what they say they do.

I'd like to see more applications/sites that make it easier for people to keep their communications private. I'm surprised that the use of encrypted/signed emails has not already become ubiquitous.
