On Twitter, anyone may follow anyone, but there is very little expectation of reciprocity. By carefully curating the people you follow, Twitter becomes an always-on data stream from really bright people in their respective fields, whose tweets are often full of links to incredibly vital, timely information.

Privacy is not about control over data nor is it a property of data.  It's about a collective understanding of a social situation's boundaries and knowing how to operate within them.  In other words, it’s about having control over a situation. It's about understanding the audience and knowing how far information will flow.  It’s about trusting the people, the situating, and the context.  People seek privacy so that they can make themselves vulnerable in order to gain something: personal support, knowledge, friendship, etc.

1) Security Through Obscurity Is a Reasonable Strategy 2) Not All Publicly Accessible Data is Meant to be Publicized 3) People Who Share PII Aren’t Rejecting Privacy 4) Aggregating and Distributing Data Out of Context is a Privacy Violation 5) Privacy is Not Access Control

Social norms can and are changing, but that doesn't mean that privacy has been thrown out the door. People care deeply about privacy, care deeply about maintaining context.  But they also care about publicity, or the right to walk out in public and be seen. 

When it comes to communication in the 21st century, email is NOT good enough. We need to encourage more educators to SHARE ideas, resources, and media using tools like Posterous! If you can send an email, you can use Posterous. Many messages we create still SHOULD be sent with a "one to one" or "one to a defined many" distribution, but many of our ideas CAN and SHOULD be shared with "an undefined many." When we share ideas in this way, there is NO LIMIT to the number of people who could theoretically encounter and be influenced by our ideas. That is VERY powerful! To do this, we need to post content online using a tool like Posterous.

We inspire people to learn, work & live differently.For companies and organisations who want to understand & effectively use social media.

Skip the funding. Build It With Me will help you bootstrap your ideas into actual apps.

In other words, if users do wind up sharing far more than they intended to, Facebook can’t do much to repair the damage. Will this have a major impact on Facebook’s success? Probably not. But people may no longer perceive it as a private site, which is what made it popular in the first place.

To us, this seems to be just the beginning of a major move by Twitter to reach out and find new users, wherever they may be. Twitter was able to grow at a rapid clip for the first half of this year, but since then has hit a growth ceiling that it’s been unable to solve. It makes sense to give people the ability to sign up through other popular websites and apps. While Citysearch is the only one using the Sign-Up API currently, they certainly won’t be a last.

Intention Web Information that provides explicit predictions of who will do what next, although it’s not happened yet.  Examples: Upcoming.org, Facebook events, Plancast.

The scope of this literature review is to map out what is currently understood about the intersections of youth, reputation, and privacy online, focusing on youth attitudes and practices. We summarize both key empirical studies from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and the legal issues involved in regulating privacy and reputation. This project includes studies of children, teenagers, and younger college students. For the purposes of this document, we use “teenagers” or “adolescents” to refer to young people ages 13-19; children are considered to be 0-12 years old. However, due to a lack of large-scale empirical research on this topic, and the prevalence of empirical studies on college students, we selectively included studies that discussed age or included age as a variable. Due to language issues, the majority of this literature covers the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Canada.
