The key in the sentence you have just written:
"inform them when friends and family members"
The businesses right now hijacks our social relationship
to make money. These businesses are not my friends and
family members. :) If we want to be honest in the work
we are doing it is one of the things to remember.
* When I have a "meaningful interaction" with Google Maps
it is for me, that I do it to get information.
* When I click on a "share button", I do it to share with
my community.
In both cases, I didn't do it for my data profile or for
the business. On the other side, when I click on buy this
product, I understand that I give money to this business
for getting that product.
# Gedankenexperiment
Under all these share buttons, put a "social currency value".
There is a price associated to each action, with a weekly
account report. I have the feeling that the people will
change a lot their sharing behavior.
I agree with what was said in the thread. Most of my
non geek friends, do not realize what is happening.
