When somebody shares ones stories with a community, one inevitably loses some of ones privacy...I think more and more people are ok with it but still there are pockets of resistance. -Jitendra Great piece JP…In addition to the mindset for sharing, the tension between privacy and sharing is showing up in so many different ways because of social media.

Or at least what I took as your point - that underlying the opposition to social software and open communities is either a fear or a general disbelief in real community. A quick excerpt from the article (link below): "I'm inclined to think that these systems are subject to a Brook's-law parallel: 'Adding more users to a social network increases the probability that it will put you in an awkward social circumstance.' " (http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=204203573) I was a little surprised to see Cory take the angle he did on this. Yes, openness and sharing have imperfections. So does community-- but perhaps this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater? I ran across an article that really seems to drive home your point, JP.

Poland apparently was not that different from India. I was reading this note and I had this feeling: that is from where I came. Poland apparently was not that different from India.
