[...] Influence can be used in powerful ways. But with great influence comes greater RESPONSIBILITY. Just as I said about the way Robert Scoble went about ‘testing’ Facebook. [...]

I agree with you. I don’t know RS nor am I a Facebook member. I am also not sure exactly what RS has done.

Your definition of integrity is spot on, and people of influence do have a higher level of accountability.

If we have a doubt, then we should not do it. That is the rule, I try to live by.

Out of all the posts around this I have read this one of the better. The examples you give are good.

I agree with your thoughts on integrity. We are what we do when no one is looking.

I remember when Facebook *let* you download a CSV of all your contacts’ information. I miss that feature, and I agree that it’s strange that I can’t easily export that data. We’re talking about email addresses, not DNA, and there’s nothing stopping me from manually entering your email addresses into my address books (besides a lack of time!).

However, it’s Facebook’s service, and as a user I need to agree to their TOS. For contact management purposes, there are other things available, like Apple’s Address Book or 37 Signals’ Highrise.
