Do you understand Facebook’s privacy settings?

Do you understand Facebook’s privacy settings?

They are complicated and change often, even if you think you know them this is a good time to review them. Think it doesn’t matter? That you don’t care if the whole world sees what you’ve posted?  What if Facebook was using your photo in ads? They might be. I came across this blog post today about Facebook could be using your photos in their ads.  To change this option -> Settings -> Privacy -> News Feed and Wall -> Facebook Ads -> Appearance in Facebook Ads and click “no one.” I had no idea this was even an option or possibility and I pay pretty close attention to my facebook privacy settings.

Social network profile management Greg Schwartz Michael Porter Sarah Houghton-Jan Amanda Clay Powers Greg Identity Digital identity mapping – online interactions make identity much more complicated Your next employer looking for your identity will do a google search You do not own your online identity Tip -own your username - if your name is unique and can grab everywhere use it, otherwise pick something - checkusernames.com - join the conversation , develop your identity by participation - listen, pay attention to what other people are saying about you - be authentic – your digital identity should be your real identity Amanda Clay Powers What are we doing here anyway How managing identity online is like managing information We know how to manage identity because we know how to manage information (really?)

The Facebook Brouhaha – yeah you’re mad, but did you leave?

The Facebook Brouhaha – yeah you’re mad, but did you leave?

What I saw happen yesterday – a LOT of people blogging, twittering and linking to articles about Facebook’s change to their Terms of Service. ( If you don’t know about it see links at the bottom. I’m not writing about that, 50 bagillion other people already have.) What I didn’t see happening – a mass exodus of friends from Facebook. I hear some people are removing content, but they aren’t leaving (I’m sure someone will leave a comment pointing out people who have left) I even asked on Twitter this morning – did you delete your account? As of writing this no one has answered yes. What this tells me – that people are mad at Facebook, maybe even really really mad, but they aren’t mad enough to leave.  Which means, that whatever they are getting from Facebook, they are willing to accept the new TOS to get it. Now what that means is a whole different blog post.
