I'm probably (read: certainly) being a bit of a cynic here, but, for all of the wonderful aspects of Web 2.0, it already seems a bit too easy to stick stuff up on the Web for the whole world to see.

Of course I'm not decrying the democratization of speech on the Web, just commenting on the fact that it's a bit too easy to stick something up on the Internet before you have time to give it a second thought. That's why things like Google's Mail Goggles and YouTube's Read Aloud Comment features are handy--they afford users the opportunity to think twice before sending off something they might later regret.

Eye-Fi has carved out a niche for itself doing the exact opposite. The company's wireless SD card has added software functionality that lets users upload images directly to Flickr and Twitter. Owners of the card can also use it to create an RSS feed of images.

Add to that the existing geotracking ability, and you have one smart SD card--unfortunately, it's not quite clever enough to let you know when you should hold off on releasing that picture into the ether.
