As they say: I've worked very hard to qualify as a curmudgeon, I deserve it, I have the website to prove it, and I'm going to be one, "a crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas." Can't be any worse than being an edupunk. Anyhow, Harold Jarche, following Luis Saurez's lead, offers the curmudgeon's manifesto "a call to arms to start dumping platforms that don't understand how to play nice on the Internet.
1. I will not use web services that hijack my data or that of my network.
2. I will share openly on the Web and not constrain those with whom I share.
3. I will not lead others into the temptation of using web services that do not respect privacy, re-use, open formats or exportable data."
