Emergent Chaos

Privacy, being the right to be left alone, is hard to get with a telephone. Two interesting stories make a trend, and we report on trends here. Or something. I think that the profusion of new services around telephone privacy are the start of an interesting market backlash against the cell phone's effect of making us always available.

See "Match.com to debut anonymous calling" and Ryan Singel mentions and "Talkplus" in "A Second Line for Privacy."
