  • At Facebook's core is the social graph; people and the connections they have to everything they care about. Historically, Facebook has managed this graph and has expanded it over time as we launch new products (photos, places, etc.).
  • The Open Graph allows apps to model user activities based on actions and objects. A running app may define the ability to “run” (action) a “route” (object). A reading app may define the ability to “read” (action) a “book” (object). A recipe app may define the ability to “cook” (action) to a “recipe” (object). Actions are verbs that users perform in your app. Objects define nouns that the actions apply to. We created sets of actions and objects for common use cases and a tool for you to create your own custom actions and objects. As users engage with your app, social activities are published to Facebook which connects the user with your objects, via the action.

      Wow...."you" become an app in this environment. Intriguing, esp. when we think about the "arbitrary' actions noted in the first paragraph...

    How does Facebook's Open Graph and "Social Design" concepts apply to mapping social media?  I'm not entirely sure how the process and operations work just yet, but I think there is certainly something of importance here pertaining to this week's topic.

  • But it’s less to promote the company and more to engage with people I don’t know in a place that feels safe to me.
  • I love Twitter and the relationships I’m able to develop using that tool.

      In thinking about this post and the boundaries at play, I'm wondering about this: what's the diff between FB and Twitter, esp. in this case? Why talk to anyone via one platform, but a restricted group on another?

      Some days I don't feel like leaving messages in the (potential) digital panopticon of communication. I write something with a hashtag and I have no idea who reads it. Or who takes a screenshot and saves it forever. We could even try and figure out the data structures, models, and infrastructure Facebook develops for targeting advertising based on gender, age, birthday, education, relationship status and other information collected over the course of your 'timeline'. At any rate, her point is that she uses different virtual social networks based on notions of different physical social networks, because those things are supposed to private and separated online as well, right? Some days I do abide. On those days, I try to be much more mindful of what I write.
  • What are your boundaries? How would you have handled the friend request I mention above?

  • I also like Facebook for the sheer reason that it creates better relationships with employees, peers, and clients

    In the offline world, we all have different personas for different situations. Say the differences between how we interact or represent ourselves at work, with friends, with lovers, with children, with strangers, etc. Are we simply transposing or correlating these personal differences to online social spaces as if they still equally apply? It seems natural that we would be concerned with privacy, surveillance, or safety, but if it just a matter of establishing certain social boundaries, should they really be defined the same in a digital environment as they are in the offline world? If so, why?
