PBS MediaShift takes on privacy … and ninjas!

Privacy. It’s a recurring topic of obvious concern to folks. Of note, a useful overview article a few days back from Mark Glaser of PBS MediaShift fame: Your Guide to Online Privacy. The article includes familiar riffs on the privacy impact of search engines and social network sites, as well as a useful list of “privacy sites” and “privacy manifestos,” if you’re into that.

Less useful in a practical sense but emblematic of the editorial tone of a lot of the MediaShift content is an even more recent, only so-so post about 5 Videoblogs That Do It Right. Personally, I don’t have it in me to prioritize web video feeds as part of my cognitive daily diet, but I have to give props to MediaShift for picking up on video cult comedy fave Ask A Ninja, who are responsible for, among other things, an especially authoritative review of Pirates of the Caribbean.
