Facebook drops user vote on privacy policy - Technology & Science - CBC News - 0 views

    Another way that Facebook seems to be limiting privacy options. While they bring up a few valid points about how much the site has grown recently and the barrage of comments from users not really familiar with the issues, it is still pretty concerning to have even less control than we already do on this site

The Quagmire of Social Media Friendships - 0 views

  •  
    This article is pretty relevant to the readings we have for this week. I found it interesting that despite having many friends on Facebook, the author defines all of his "real" friends by things that they do in face-to-face situations, which doesn't really consider long distance relationships.
