This way users can individually decide how much "innovation" they're willing to play with at the cost of some privacy. They can then decide that a particular innovation may not be for them and centrally de-authorize that new service. So developers are free to go crazy and try out new things and any user doesn't have to worry about the long-term affects of trying this service. @Audrey - I think FireEagle is one of the good examples paving the way of demonstrating how to handle privacy, personalization and authentication.

It's frustrating when a conversation gets stuck in a gripe-loop, and I think this helped us talk about more than just fears and complaints. Maybe next time we can talk more about the how: How do we allow for privacy control and still innovate? Thanks for introducing the Six de Bono Hats idea into the geo-privacy discussion.
