With every click, like, friend, and share, we leave a trail of digital breadcrumbs. This data exhaust can help us improve our health, our job, and our relationships. Or it can be exploited, manipulating our behavior and putting our identity at risk. As a thousand Personal Data flowers bloom, what are the platforms on which it relies? What are the challenges and opportunities? In this panel discussion, Bitcurrent’s Alistair Croll discusses the platforms for personal data with the founders of Status.net, Buyosphere, and Memolane.
