Open...and Shut Facebook isn't necessarily the new Compuserve, and Google might not be angling to be the Hotel California of tech, but all of the big web giants seem intent on locking their users into experiencing a single-vendor web.
Facebook riled users this week by throttling their ability to export their Facebook friends' data for use with Google+ or other services, while Google dumped Twitter from its realtime search in favor of its own Google+. The web as an intersection of seemingly infinite networks threatens to become a limited patchwork of monopolized web experiences that only grudgingly talk with each other.

If you’ve used Facebook, it doesn’t take a huge leap to be immediately comfortable with Google+. Many of the features, however, have a secure feeling to them with privacy defaults instead of the more open approach other networks take. The settings have reasonable explanations to them rather than cryptic shorties. To monitor your online digital footprint, you’re notified immediately, if you accept the defaults, whenever there’s some interaction with your account.

Privacy implications for Google+...
INTERNET GIANT Google will put an end to private Google Profiles at the end of July, raising some concerns over privacy in its latest social networking experiment Google+. Google announced that it will be changing how it displays profiles by the end of the month, as it believes that private profiles defeat the purpose of profiles in the first place, which is to help people find their friends and connect with them.

It’s called Google+, and it’s the latest new thing that has the web all a-buzz (pun completely intended). And I’m totally afraid to use it,
I was one of the early adopters of Google Wave, the late, lamented thing that Google created that was supposed to replace email. It didn’t. It just gave users one more thing to deal with other than email. It worked for me, because I was able to use it to communicate across the miles with colleagues on projects and the platform was suited for that. In fact, it was far better suited than email for that. But it didn’t catch on, because only a few of us “got it” — both in terms of having access for most if its tenure and wrapping our heads around it. When Google dismantled Wave, it bugged me. I’d invested a considerable amount of time on it (although not nearly as much as others like Gina Trapani, who wrote a book on how to use it) and was not relishing in the idea that I’d have to realign how I was handling my communication effort across the miles. After all, humans are generally unreceptive to change, right? So when Google announced Buzz, I was skeptical. I didn’t see what the benefit was, and filling my inbox with emails would be a drawback for someone trying to live as productively as possible. I was already spending time in Twitter, which did what I needed it to do and was doing it well: drawing people to my content. Facebook did that too, so Buzz really had no appeal for me. Still, I signed up and tried it out. And then I was done with it.
