David Kirkpatrick

David Kirkpatrick, longtime senior editor for Internet and technology at Fortune Magazine, has written for two decades about the computer and technology industries, as well as the impact of the Internet on business and society. His book, entitled The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company that is Connecting the World will be published by Simon & Schuster in the U.S. June 15, 2010. The book describes Facebook's history and how this newly-dominant Internet force is changing behaviors across societies worldwide.

I don't really care who knows what about my life. Heaven knows everything anyway, which is the only thing that really matters...

Yeah! I also wish a truckdriver or a footballplayer would have invented Facebook...

I like the idea of facebook connect or OpenId. The problem is security. Is there an alternative which is userfriendly, secure and widely deployed?
