Israeli soldier posts the details of an operation on Facebook, and the operation is called off. Ironic: the Internet, originally a military tool, causes trouble in the military. Like with potential victims for kidnapping in Mexico posting personal details online: should basic media literacy education be provided for the use of social media among groups with potential risks?

This is my second blog entry on the topic of the 'digital divide'. I would have posted it earlier but I haven't been able to access wordpress.com from home. There is also an introductory post from a few weeks ago.

Blog post about how Facebook and MySpace handle cyber bullying. Should both sites "unmask" bullies and what would the possible implications be?  At present neither site is required to identify users who bully others or post offensive material unless requested by a subpoena.

I'm covering Protest Movements on my blog and will be focusing on cultural protest. This post looks at the furore around Nestle's use of palm oil in its products and what Greepeace have done to protest this, including a darkly comic spoof video of "Have a break, Have a Kit Kat" creative.

A Brazilian judge has fined Google in Brazil over a comment posted by an anonymous user stating that a priest is a paedophile. Raises the question of who is responsible for defamatory comments - the publisher (in this case Google) or the poster. Reminds me of a similar case of one of my fave blogs, Kitsune Noir - a music and design blog from the US. A poster made a critical comment about a design that the blogger had written about and the designer threatened legal action against Kitsune Noir.

Fourth and featured blog post in my series on Protest Movements.

My blog post on the new social networking site, Togetherville, that's specifically aimed at 6-10-year-olds. Looks at the reception from the media so far, and whether or not it can be an effective tool against cyberbullying as it effects kids in this very young demographic.

In my final blog post, I reflect on the reasons I believe cultural protest is just as valid a type of protest as any other and why I think people participate.

This is an article I bookmarked a few weeks ago but neglected to post to Diigo. I was planning to focus on Haiti as the subject for a blog entry but didn't follow through. Regardless, this article outlines the plan by broadcasters to gain money through digital sales of a telethon intended to raise funds for the relief effort in Haiti. The main point of the article is not to look at the digital divide between Haiti and the nations funding relief efforts, as I initially thought. It looks at the telethon as a test run to figure out how to monetize live internet streaming and mobile downloads of television content.
