Facebook backing up your files even after you delete them, or MySpace not sending you a confirmation email to close your account, or other sites with a "delete account" button missing. We must be aware of this, before divulging our names and personal information, because we may be locked out of our profile. Good thing to do.. read the TOS and Privacy Policies at all these sites before you sign up. You may be surprised to read what's in the fine print.

The only reason you would use the blog tool is is you had a Network or group you wanted to create or be part of - like maybe a family group that you wanted to share photos with. Then the blogging tool is supposed to allow you to publish to your existing blog if you wanted to. We are not trying to compete with existing blog tools - we are just trying to help people aggregate and share their information. It also allows you to publish to multiple groups within the system. It is alpha and so we would be happy to look at why it didn't push to your blog as it should. I can understand your concerns about social network systems - not everyone will want to use these types of tools. Personally I think it is best used as a tool for an existing group. But others like the virtual communities.
