"We have been actors in the biggest reality show on Cosa Nostra."/ppHe complained bitterly of police surveillance and media pressure. His younger brother, 26 year-old Francesco, said: "Every activity I get ready to set up is scotched because it is [defined by the law as] a 'product of the laundering of illicitly obtained assets'. I ask myself, when will I be able to have a life of my own."/ppAs a language and literature graduate, he said he had won a scholarship to teach Italian in a Germany university. But he added: "They took it away from me because someone said I could not represent Italy abroad. As if I were the ambassador."/ppHis elder brother, aged 33, added: "We always try to make ourselves known by our Christian names, and not by our surname. I always introduce myself as Angelo and only if it is necessary do I add the rest."/ppThe two young men denied they had been instructed by their father to give the interview, carried by two Italian dailies, La Repubblica and La Stampa. But police and prosecutors can be expected to pore over every word in a search for possible coded messages - all the more so since Angelo Provenzano used the interview to play down the crimes of the mafia. A spokesman for relatives of the mafia's victims said his declarations of love and respect for his father were "an insult"./ppBernardo Provenzano was arrested in 2006 after 43 years on the run. His elder son spent the first 16 years of his life also in hiding. "I was born and brought up in captivity," said Angelo, who refused to discuss his childhood on the run./ppIn 1992, the boys and their mother returned to their home town, Corleone, when "my growing-up began", he said. The son of the "capo di tutti i capi" (boss of all bosses) acknowledged he had found it "difficult" to integrate with society./ppAt least as difficult was the surveillance to which the family were subjected after 1992. "They monitored every setting, every space - the living room, the car, the bathroom, the windows," he said. "Whether they still monitor us, I don't know. We certainly behave as if we were [under surveillance]."/ppHe suggested that behind the mafia's operations lay manoeuvres by the authorities, and claimed two of the organisation's most famous victims, the investigating magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, had been sacrificed "on the altar of raison d'etat" (national interest)./ppBut he admitted that he had "curbed his curiosity" and had never asked his mother direct questions about his father. "I concede certain mitigating circumstances to my father", he said, "so I have nothing to admonish him for."/ppThe brother of a journalist murdered by the mob said in an open letter to the Provenzano sons: "There is no need to renounce your father, but [only] to disown his role and condemn decisively his criminal actions."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/italy"Italy/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/WEHbtUzjDeeYgnhXzjchOsUG0G4/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/WEHbtUzjDeeYgnhXzjchOsUG0G4/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/iphone_and_pc.jpg"It seems we're approaching a new age here on the Internet. Instead being anonymous, faceless IP addresses, social computing and changing technologies have allowed the lines between the "real" world and the "virtual" world to blur. Web 2.0 helped create a world where your identity is revealed in bits and pieces as you share snippets of your life online - a photo here, a Stumble there, a tweet, a Digg, etc. However, the rise of social media is only one of the changes that is busy shaping the new web. /p p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12762amp;cb=12762' target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12762amp;n=12762' border='0' alt='' align="right" //a/p pOn tomorrow's web, we're no longer going to be anonymous. In fact, one can argue that we're no longer anonymous today, but that's not entirely true. We're still hearing of people hijacking people's names and brands on social networking sites like a href="http://twitter.com"Twitter/a, for example, and any MySpace search for a famous celebrity will return hundreds of results purporting to be the "official" page for that person. But those days of "faking it" may be fading fast. /p h2Being "Fake" Is Now A Crime/h2 pA precedent-setting case, the Lori Drew MySpace trial, has just come to an end. If you're unfamiliar, this was a case where an overprotective mom established a fake online identity to bully her daughter's rival. The judge's ruling has now criminalized the act of creating a fake persona online. In the case of Drew, most would agree she deserves the punishment she received. However, the aftershocks of the ruling could very well impact the online identity creation process for years to come if it's not overturned. /p h2Authenticating The "Real" You/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/f8_image1.jpg" align="right"To address the needs of sites wanting weed out fake personas, users will have to be authenticated in new ways. Here, companies like Facebook, Google, and others are already in position to offer a solution for making sure people are who they say they are. a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_connect_readies.php"Facebook Connect/a, a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_friend_connect_manages.php"Google Friend Connect/a, and a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_opens_yos_to_developers.php"Yahoo's Open Strategy/a, have all been busy trying to grab land on the new frontier of identity management. All of them want to be your de facto online identity provider. /p pNo matter who wins, though, it's emanonymity/em that loses. For the sites that move to these types of authentication methods, no longer will their users be able to create disposable usernames and passwords so they can troll around harassing others and leaving juvenile comments. Instead, all participants are themselves online#160; - and subject to the same standards for behavior that you would expect to see if you encountered them in a real-life public situation. /p h2The Psychological Impacts Of One Identity /h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/selector-example3d.gif" align="left"Even the utopian plans of a href="http://openid.net/"OpenID/a, a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/myspace_aims_to_win_developers.php"which MySpace pledged to support/a, is being embraced by other big names like a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_is_now_an_openid_provider.php"Google/a, a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/microsoft_windows_live_openid.php"Microsoft/a, Yahoo, and a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/barack_obamas_changegov_adds_o.php"even President-Elect Obama/a. With this federated identity, one set of credentials can follow you around the net, providing access to hundreds of sites. Although everyday computer users may not understand the technicalities of OpenID, the psychological impact will become apparent. /p pTo the technically unsophisticated, the concept that you are emone/em set of credentials, emone/em username, emone/em person across numerous sites will start people thinking that their activities can be traced, that they are not as emanonymous/em as before...regardless as to whether or not that is true. /p h2The User Data Overlords/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/security-cameras.jpg" align="right"Finally, there is Google, the company we joke around as being "our new overlords." The reality is that we have, in fact, turned over vast amounts of our personal identity to this company in exchange for free webmail with pretty themes, snappy web browsing experiences, free analytics tools, more. As Allen Stern noted this weekend, "a href="http://www.centernetworks.com/google-online-privacy"Google Knows Where I Am and Everything I Do/a." em(If you want to jump even deeper down that rabbit hole, take a closer look at /ema href="http://www.slightlyshadyseo.com/index.php/googles-user-data-empire/"emGoogle's User Data Empire/em/aem).#160; /em/p pThe terrifying vision of our future that Orwell imagined in his masterpiece, a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four"1984/a, has been surpassed by miles. Big Brother staring at us through TV screens is nothing - instead, we've managed to create a world where we blindly, willingly, hand over our data and personal identities to a publicly traded company because they promised us they were trustworthy. And like a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine"the Eloi people in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine/a, everything we need is provided to us - up until the time we become the dinner for the evils that lurk just below the surface. /p h2Struggling To Adapt/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/facebook_wand.jpg" align="right"In many ways, our society will struggle to adapt to the changes imposed by the lack of anonymity. Those embarrassing Facebook photos you got tagged in this weekend could lose you your job and prevent you from getting a new one. But how can we draw the line between what's public and private when so many of us have already decided that it's socially acceptable to shove cameras and video recorders in people's faces (without asking!) and publish the captured images to the net immediately? /p pThe only way to prevent reputations from being damaged in the process is to always "be on your best behavior" in public. Frankly, that's no fun. No more wild boys nights out? No more getting silly and stupid with your friends? No - not unless you're willing to live with the consequences of having it plastered online in the morning. /p pWhen we reach the point where online anonymity has ended, instead of getting to be who we really are, the fact that we've become so aware of the fact that we're always being recorded, photographed, tracked, and traced, will have actually created a slightly altered personality instead. Like reality TV show contestants, the act of being observed will change our behavior. Our personal brand image will become our public identity and therefore our identity. /p h2Not All Bad, Just Different/h2 pThe truth is, giving up our online anonymity may not be all bad - we'll have a convenient, portable friend graph, for example. We can burn our notebook filled with our usernames and passwords. Our search data will be easily accessible from one place. But for the convenience of a simple login, searchable personal data and web history, and social networks filled with friends, we'll have exchanged a bit of who we are in the process. We'll pay for our services on the new internet with our identity and personal information. When the companies we sold ourselves to use it for their own benefits, our outrage will come too late. We'll only have ourselves to blame. /p pemImage credit: iPhone with transparent screen, /ema href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16189770@N00/1526393678/"emedans/em/a/p stronga href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_end_of_online_anonymity.php#comments-open"Discuss/a/strong pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/Rb6Js6_dkLIoDnGgeF8kMLrspdM/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/Rb6Js6_dkLIoDnGgeF8kMLrspdM/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=6PnLJzLz"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=1035" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=e294Dj6d"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=o1vFSWS5"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=o1vFSWS5" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=uJqMQd1P"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=uJqMQd1P" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=5lNZuiR4"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=5lNZuiR4" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=J83R7kz9"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=hQrU55RW"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=1034" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/readwriteweb/~4/iNWiiSTGLxo" height="1" width="1"/

Oasis, who released their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, last month, came in at number four. Kate Moss, whom the sculptor Marc Quinn immortalised in a pound;1.5m gold statue displayed in the British Museum, claimed ninth place, just ahead of EastEnders./ppAlso on the most-searched list was Heath Ledger, who died in New York in January. The Australian star of the latest Batman film was placed eighth. His performance as the psychopathic Joker in The Dark Knight generated speculation that he may win a posthumous Oscar next year./ppA spokesman for Yahoo Europe said: "It is fascinating to look back over the last year and see the stories, personalities and subjects that have captured our imagination ... some of which continue to be the hot topics of today."/ppSpears has crammed a remarkable amount into the past 12 months. As well as facing trial for driving without a valid Californian licence, having her father granted indefinite control of her assets and spending two days in a psychiatric ward, the singer has managed to confound many by launching a comeback. /ppLast week she was named best international pop star at an awards ceremony in Germany. On Saturday, the singer made her first UK television appearance for four years when she sang her new single, Womanizer, on The X Factor. Her performance brought in the highest ratings for the show, attracting a peak of 12.8 million viewers. Today sees the launch of her sixth studio album, Circus./pp"I've been through a lot and there's a lot that people don't know," she told MTV this year. "I look back and [think]: 'I'm a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?'"/ppDespite her impressive showing in the list, however, Spears' new record has not captivated all the critics. "Circus isn't bad as pop albums go," wrote the Guardian's Alexis Petridis. "But ... it's less edgy and exciting than its predecessor."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/internet"Internet/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/yahoo"Yahoo/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/britneyspears"Britney Spears/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/barackobama"Barack Obama/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/bigbrother"Big Brother/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/realitytv"Reality TV/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/television"Television/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa"United States/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/VSGno8P-8b3WyoKLATQa3Gq8PkQ/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/VSGno8P-8b3WyoKLATQa3Gq8PkQ/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p
