It looks like Pownce has fixed part of this issue. The FOAF page now displays the first name and last initial, which is good, but it still displays the full birth year. A dedicated stalker or identity thieve can still use the full birth day to his advantage and honestly Pownce should not be displaying that information on its FOAF page when the users request that their birthdates not be displayed publicly.

I am completely unimpressed with the obtuseness of Pownce support here. I had a lengthy email conversation with Ariel that went nowhere and I wound up just giving up. If anyone wants to read it for a laugh, contact me at jcm267@hotmail.com and I can send it to you.

You should stop laughing and instead put your thinking cap on and do a google search for "trusted third party". Do you buy things from eBay? Paypal is a trusted third party for eBay users. Would you like it if you bought something off of eBay using PayPal and your credit card information was made public due to a glitch in PayPal's software? Obviously this Pownce issue wasn't quite as serious as that but it wasn't something to laugh at the victims over. Frankly, Tom, you're rude and not very bright.
