  What should Phil do for his 40th birthday?

  Oh! That weekend away sounds like a great idea!!

  I guess whatever activity you settled on, as long as you're surrounded by family and friends, it'll be a blast eh?

  What Happens When I Feel Ownership of a Forum

  You know, registration is not the issue.... everyone signs up to a dozen different things constantly. If the feeling of wanting to use it is overwhelming enough, nothing will stop ya.

  Of course, that doesn't mean I'll stop bitching about having to register!

  Your Email Address is My Data

  Yeah, I agree. If you don't want your friends (or other social network contacts) to contact you via your e-mail address, don't put it up!

  I see it being the same thing as giving your phone number out. When you give someone your number, you give them not only access to call you, you also give them access to handle it. What I mean when I say that is you give them the 'permission' (for lack of a better word) to write it in their family phonebook, their PDA, mobile etc etc. You don't say 'You can only put my number in your phone, and no where else'.

  That is essentially how I see what Scoble was doing. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you give him permission to have your e-mail address (note: In facebook, you essentially give that permission twice) he can take it and put it where ever he wants.

  This is separate from if he gives your address to someone else - that brings in a third party, and isn't inherent in the normal permission process.
