   - The project we propose fits really well in the funware exhib. (humour and affect in computing, with threads such as gaming, hacker/virus approaches and participatory online applications).
-Interests in the technologies mentioned above: FIXME bit of a statement, help by adding your thoughts :)
+Modes of online communication have moved from peer to peer systems such as email and IM to centralized and corporate platforms so fast, little thought has gone into the long term consequences of this move. Users share information under dubious and ever changing terms they do not control. Social games and applications on such platforms make the situation even less transparent. They have access to a lot of user information, and even though they are not allowed to store this information, the games are hosted on 3rd party servers, and there is no way platforms such as Facebook can check if those rules are obeyed.
-Facebook has become as hard to avoid as a mobile phone. Abstainers face isolation. Modes of online communication have rapidly moved from peer to peer systems such as email and IM to a centralized and corporate platform on which users share information under dubious and ever changing terms they do not control. Social gaming has beaten twitter when it comes to popularity. Applications developed on facebook have access to users information, and the information of their friends, and play on things like social obligations to make ppl play often, spend lots of money and share even more data. It is time for a social gaming corruption taskforce to raise some awareness/eyebrows/... ??? FIXME

+I like "naked on pluto" - "You are 4.3 billion kilometers away from the nearest human. You have no clothes.", good for a code name anyway. Also a name which is a little more confrontational, maybe for the general project - "Faceless" ?
