I worry about this, as you run into the Facebook problem: All of these entries that were moderately protected when DW was a smaller, closed system, become increasingly public as the userbase expands. What was three years ago a place that you could easily post party pictures, and assorted college hijinks is now essentially public- my dog now has a facebook, my parents now have facebooks etc. Not to mention my boss, my coworkers, and even worse- my employees. There is nothing inherently wrong with having a 'logged into to DW users only' layer, but I suspect that a lot of people will learn via hard cold experience that it is not actually any security at all. Nora Bombay PS: The only saving grace of facebook is my age- when I was in high school and college nobody had digital cameras- so the average pictures had to be of things that you were willing to let the guys at the development place see.
