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?
