Zuckerberg’s Privacy Stance Ignores Being Chastised in Public by Canada

I try, as much as I logically and realistically can, keep Facebook at arm’s length from my world. I realistically can’t delete my Facebook account nor can I just eschew using Facebook as a powerful promotional tool within social media. That doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Recently I commented on the nature of public and private and before that how employers perceive potential and current employees through their Facebook (and other social media) profiles, both posts raised some hard and difficult questions. Things that we haven’t really had to [...]

Walking a line of publicity and privacy. Where do you stand?

Public or private. Tell the world, tell a few, tell no one. This is one aspect of social media that I constantly struggle with in my life. This evening Raul, Guacira Naves, and I were chatting about this very topic this evening at Blenz. The three of us all have our own stories of the good and bad of public disclosure. I think it’s safe to say the three of us agree that there are no easy answers. By happenstance when I got home what did I find in my [...]

Who are your social media friends, really?

How many “friends” on Facebook do you have? Twitter? Foursquare? LinkedIn? If you’re like me probably “lots” is a safe answer, but there’s a problem with the term “friends” or “connections” because we use these tools to define our personal, professional, and informational networks many of the people on these lists aren’t really friends at all. I’d venture to say that, for Twitter especially, the majority are less than even acquaintances. My friend (and I mean that in the sociological way) Chris Brogan probes into this sticky problem as he [...]

What Does Your Social Media Footprint Tell Employers? The Facebook Test

This week I asked Chris Breikss of 6S Marketing to talk to my class about what he looks for in potential employees (and ostensibly interns as well). Beyond the standard resume and cover letter advice (check spelling and grammar), he said something that made the entire class sit up and take notice: the Facebook Test.
Not only does Chris and his team look in the usual places (Google search, Twitter, blogs) but also Facebook … and with this little FB app called “Photo Stalker”, he can also see if you have [...]

How safe is your email?

Do you encrypt your email? I didn’t think so. I don’t either. Not that I don’t want to, I would but it’s too freakin’ hard.  Hard? Come on there are tons of ways to encrypt your email, right? Sure, but the problem isn’t the encrypting but the decrypting that is the issue. Yeah I can encrypt my email message to you, but going through the rigmarole for the recipient to decrypt it can be painful at best.
I’m not alone in this wonder/worry CNET had a good piece on it recently—To [...]
