Very nice... I'm very interested. Would you mind sharing? (a URL or
something...)

That's the whole point! ;-) messing around with people's privacy...
*hehehe* (I'm evil)
But really, is it illegal? How many people are hating (i.e. saying bad
things about) other people on their blogs? Maybe not as many as the
'loving ones', but I certainly notice that almost everyday.

I guess for this, the system would provide at least two options for
each piece of information: public (publicly accessible) & private
(personal notes only). And every piece of information should be
logged, at least using IP/port/time, and if possible under username.
Not perfect, but the least we can do. (e.g. someone could plea a user
to remove a disturbing piece of information)

Any more thoughts?
