Hide/Remove Google Buzz Updates from Your Gmail Inbox - google buzz - Lifehacker - 10 views

  •  
    OK, so lots of things are pretty cool about Google Buzz but I absolutely hate that my already full inbox is now full of Google Buzz stuff. I just want to keep it separate. From lifehacker, just filter out label:buzz to go somewhere else. Done!

Rode the Wave and Buzzed the Tower: Now I am + for Ed - 16 views

  •  
    Been playing around with Google+ and see some promising privacy features (I can hide my family from being viewed and pick which circles can be shared. That is a plus - forgive the pun.) Here, Ryan Bretag shares what he has learned about Google plus.

The Tell-All Generation Learns When Not To, at Least Online - NYTimes.com - 10 views

  • Younger teenagers were not included in these studies, and they may not have the same privacy concerns. But anecdotal evidence suggests that many of them have not had enough experience to understand the downside to oversharing.

      This is why we need to have social networking sites at school, so that we can help teach about safety/security/privacy!
  • But in many cases, young adults are teaching one another about privacy.
  • Ms. Liu is not just policing her own behavior, but her sister’s, too. Ms. Liu sent a text message to her 17-year-old sibling warning her to take down a photo of a guy sitting on her sister’s lap. Why? Her sister wants to audition for “Glee” and Ms. Liu didn’t want the show’s producers to see it. Besides, what if her sister became a celebrity? “It conjures up an image where if you became famous anyone could pull up a picture and send it to TMZ,” Ms. Liu said. Andrew Klemperer, a 20-year-old at Georgetown University, said it was a classmate who warned him about the implications of the recent Facebook change — through a status update on (where else?) Facebook. Now he is more diligent in monitoring privacy settings and apt to warn others, too.

      Great examples of peers leading peers, but not the kind we usually read about when media describes social networking sites.

  • He has learned to live out loud mostly by trial and error and has come up with his own theory: concentric layers of sharing.

      Like my "Worlds Collide" post: http://pairadimes.davidtruss.com/google-buzz-and-george-costanza-worlds-collide/ but I still think there is too much of a perception that you can have 'private' or 'hidden' digital lives (which you can't) rather than thinking about it as being appropriate to your audience, and always "appropriate" and thoughtful about your image.
  • The conventional wisdom suggests that everyone under 30 is comfortable revealing every facet of their lives online, from their favorite pizza to most frequent sexual partners. But many members of the tell-all generation are rethinking what it means to live out loud.
  • more than half the young adults questioned had become more concerned about privacy than they were five years ago — mirroring the number of people their parent’s age or older with that worry. They are more diligent than older adults, however, in trying to protect themselves.
  • In a new study to be released this month, the Pew Internet Project has found that people in their 20s exert more control over their digital reputations than older adults, more vigorously deleting unwanted posts and limiting information about themselves.

    Yes! It is incredibly useful. I thought this was common knowledge as I have been doing it for quite sometime... the reason I have so many "favorites" in Twitter. Automatically ships them here and then I can sort and organize by my groups and lists.
  •  
    I do it, too. Like Suzie, it means I have more favorites than I otherwise would have. I also use the rss feed https://twitter.com/favorites/edwebb.rss to put them into Google Reader in case I want to share further via Buzz or other means, and to have them show up in an RSS widget on some of my course or other wikipages, blogs etc.
