We think so…

Through Internet provider’s gate, which is closely monitored by almost anyone from technical personel to third party hackers, packets sniffers, cache servers, and so on – you wouldn’t feel secure commiting your business in the center of the stadium, wouldn’t you ?
That’s exactly how you should feel using insecure connections from public Internet Service providers. But you can fix it with VPN encryption ! Since your connection is encrypted nobody (none!) can actually de-cipher your traffic and whatever passes through your internet connection stays completely hidden.
Did you hear about Patriot act? Since then – nothing is private anymore in States and major part of Europe. Most free private proxy servers and gateway can only pass your data with out encryption, hence make it visible for almost whole world – the trick called “packet sniffing” when the traffic captured analysed and extracted. But when your data is encrypted – it’s impossible to decipher what is going in and out your computer, sensitive data, password and other impostant information.
I found this service, and feels better now.. http://www.step-host.com when I send my messages and letters, surely none will know.
btw, they even have a week test drive!

They’re excellent “third places” because they’re filled with busy, industrious people typing away on laptops. I find I get more work done there – it feels like a study hall. But there’s enough human interaction as well, with the occasional bit of small talk with strangers, watching customers come in and out, seeing what books people are reading (lots of Harry Potter this week), overhearing conversations about jobs and condos, etc… There’s a busy hum to the place, with the pleasant background noise of people, that helps me get stuff done.

Especially if they have free WIFI. I’ll use any place with power outlets and internet access. Bucketworks is a great place to use as a 3rd place if you live in the Milwaukee, WI area.

However, there are times I need to go to my third place. And that place is my favorite coffee shop. Good wifi and great people.

Sometimes I make comments on other people’s weblogs.

I don’t even have a second one. Some days I go outside to hang out the laundry, would that count?

I hang out with a lot of my friends at my girlfriends house.

I do need to spend a lot more time socializing then I do right now. It would be healthy for me to.

For people who have made the transition to an online life and work, it makes total sense for their Third Place to be an online location as well, although not as healthy maybe…

My third place is probably a friend’s house where everyone gathers at least once a week. Or at least, it was before I moved to a new town. Today I’m back in the old city, but I really need to find a 3rd place in the new locale.
