As we all become increasingly reliant on social networking websites and new technologies to stay connected, it's important to remain cognizant of how private personal information and data is handled.

Social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr provide an unparalleled ability for people to stay connected in new and unique ways.

I work a lot with my ski sponsor, Head, to develop new technologies.

This marketization of personal information is a big mistake.

Facebook is by far the largest of these social networking sites, and starting with its ill-fated Beacon service, privacy concerns have more than once been raised about how the ubiquitous social networking site handles its user data.

I enjoy learning about the new technologies. I enjoy getting to know the new fans and dealing with them on their turf.
