No Hiding from AIM
Here's a technology I don't think I need and know I don't want. By figuring
out what wireless router you're using, AOL's instant messaging service can let
your friends (and your boss)
know
exactly where you are.
This reminds me of all the hype around presence, when we were all supposed
to fall in love with the notion of knowing if our co-workers were in the office,
on the phone or in the john. It's not enough that we are tethered to work through
cell phones, BlackBerrys and home broadband connections -- now our every physical
move is to be known, as well?
