Over on his Between the Lines blog, Phil Windley mentions something he observed at last March’s ETech:

This discussion is related to the whole attention and intension discussion that happened at ETech last spring. How much control should you have over the data companies collect about you? After ETech, I concluded that most people want a lot of control over that data and that achieving that end will be much harder than we think-technically, legally, economically, and politically.

ETech 2007 teaser: we’re putting the final touches on the Call for Participation now and will release all the details next week.
