It's about time someone set the record straight! Look, I don't like the changes that come about on YouTube and so on. People always protest and complain about those changes. Eventually after a couple of weeks, they all get used to it. Complaining about it will get the same response as just sitting there and doing nothing. People say to "let your voice be heard" or something to the like. I'm sorry, but since when does ANY major multi-million/billion dollar company care about what the people say?

@StarionX True. :) JC

Hi, JC! Im totally agree with you! OK, suddenly you wanted privacy. But i think, if you created account - it's a first step to publicity, right? And EVERYBODY can read your posts, It's not "google stuff" or your friends but everybody. For me it's illogical.

@nemru Yep. I think you pretty much summed it all up. You just can't have it both ways like you used to when it was just chat rooms with aliases and nothing else. We share way more detailed information these days. :) JC

There are YouTubers who are signing up for ZipCast. I got mine set up and my ID is "TheFritzster." ZipCast is at its beginnings, as I understand. Time will tell how they're going to improve. It seems as if former YouTubers MIGHT become ZipCasters.

In my profile, I would say that "Fritz" is not my real name but a name I use on YouTube, Twitter and a few other such sites. I'm being kinda cautious about giving away info about myself.

@ThisGuyFrritz I looked at ZippCast and it has a long way to go but I generally like the simplicity of the interface. :) JC

@TheZeekgeek1 30 years from now I'll be 70 and no one will care about my preferences. :) JC

@azntranc3951 Me, too. I think folks need to calm down a bit. Google has been doing this stuff for years. They're just telling us a bout it now. :) JC

@xxxKevyMetalxxx Thanks... Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. :) JC

@Comptekhs LOL... I agree with you! I don't understand the whole sit like a zombie and look at Facebook thing. I check it our a couple of times per day just to see if anything interesting popped up but I rarely chat and usually I tell whoever it is to call me. :) JC
