More on Thing #2

(This is a long Thing! more like homework!!)

I read the article "The Ongoing Web Revolution". He comments that trust is key for social computing. I think that sometimes that trust is misplaced. Students trust 'way too much that the information about themselves that they post will not be used by anyone else. Recent articles in the newspapers about employers looking at applicants' Facebook pages, the non-privacy of Google, and even Michael Phelps' picture smoking pot all would seem to point to the fact that the users' information is definitely NOT private!

I want to read the articles about libraries and Facebook. One of our students set us (the library)up a Facebook page. My daughter, who is in PR for a bank, says that banking wants to take advantage of Facebook, too.
