The Green Safe part two

I wanted to thank everyone who has added the Green Safe app.  I have gotten a lot of good feedback from people who really like it.  I have also gotten feedback on things I could improve about it.  Where I have been able to, I have made some modifications to make the user experience a little better.  Some things will have to wait until I am able to produce the second version of the app.

Perhaps the biggest question I have been asked is, "What happens if Facebook shuts this down?"  First off, I have tried to make sure I am in compliance with all of their policies so that they don't have any reason to shut it down.  Second, I hope Facebook respects people's rights to do with their info as they please. Its their info and if people want to store it in the Green Safe, that's up to them, not Facebook.  If for some reason it did get shut down and I couldn't resolve the issue with Facebook, all the info that has been stored would be deleted.

If there is one thing I can see from this, is that people still do value their privacy and control over it.  Keep the feedback coming and lets see if together we can build a more private internet.'

PS. One other note.  Please don't be offended if I don't add you as a friend on Facebook.  I reserve Facebook connections for people I am very close to, friends I grew up with, went to high school with, my family and people I know really well.  Basically, it fairly private to me which I am sure you can all respect.  If you would like to connect with me, look me up on Twitter or LinkedIn or subscribe to my blog.
