What happens on Facebook stays on Facebook?

Found this interesting and informative video about Facebook and how your information and "habits" can be used? Does this scare anyone?

Does what happens in the Facebook stay in the Facebook?

How to protect yourself...

No, I'm not talking about what you think I'm talking about. You should already know that one. I'm talking about how to protect your information on Facebook. I found this guide that shows you ten different privacy settings you should check and how you can change them. It can affect everything. Especially, I like the one where you can take yourself out of Google, so that you won't "pop-up" in any sense, on a search engine.

10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know

Facebook Mobile compared to race and background

For my paper, I did an evaluation of Facebook Mobile. In my research, I found a lot of interesting information that I wanted to share with you.


In an article from USA Today, I found a lot of great information about Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. The journalist is comparing the usage of social networks to ethnical background, to see who's active and who's falling behind. The article can be found by following this link:

Interesting interview with Zuckerberg

I found this interview with Mark Zuckerberg and his thoughts on a lot of different stuff, like for an example security of your information and the growth of facebook.

Here is the link; Mark Zuckerberg

Also found Sean Parker's thoughts of the movie, which he really liked. He did point out that it was fictional and that a lot of it wasn't true. I was thinking about that when we saw the movie, they probably had to make it a little bit more exciting and twist the actual plot, so that people wouldn't be bored throughout the movie. Which all the nonimations and prize's it already have gotten, really shows.

Facebook to shut down?

 Just as the world is estimated to expire in 2012, there is rumors that Facebook is closing on the 15th on March. This has pissed off a lot of people, and many are heard saying that this would destroy their lives. Others are just worried that they would get 10 more hours of freetime each day?

What to do, what to do?

Facebook about to shut down!

(That these rumors are true, is very doubtful.)

The Social Network - The Guardian Review

This was my winter break according to Woordle:)

Visual Persuasive Rhetoric

  

This cartoon really caught my eye. The audience is the American people, with the purpose of having them think about what the goverment really is using their time and money on. What should American really try to get their hands on? Is another Olympic Games really what the US should focus on right now? And what would you jump if you had the choice? 

Since I'm not an American citizen, I'm not going to take a stand on this, but I'd like your opinions.

Peace,
