A funny, fresh look at breaking away the paranoia surrounding web 2.0 tools. Of course, brainstorming new ideas in a group often requires non-attribution to stimulate more open flow of ideas - which is why some conferences follow the Chatham House rule (participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed). So the telephone conference can be a useful tool because they *can* be non-attributable although are mostly restricted and monitored to limit participation. But your point is made, the telephone is (just) another way to expose secrets from within an organization - although it pales in comparison to a motivated, untrustworthy employee who's moral compass has let them stray.
