Privacy and social media

How do you keep your life to yourself?

Your web seems so vast, it's like you're out on a shelf.

Sometimes it is hard, I say to my friend,

But it is possible to maintain some privacy in the end.

One of my concerns with social media and Facebook in particular has been around privacy. The whole concept of "friending" people and gathering up hundreds of "friends" seems rather bizarre to me.

Apparently, some of the novelty has worn off as people are beginning to "unfriend" and keep more of their information private.

Unfriending and private profiles are the new trends in social networks

Netiquette, etiquette

As I continue to think about class blogging, I have looking at different class blogs.  I came across this great Prezi about netiquette, something that will need to be discussed before the blogging begins.  The Prezi is to the fun and to the point, yet clear.  The use of cartoons keeps it light.
