[edit] Noticed/News

  • Facebook Withdraws Changes in Data Use via http://delicious.com/jwebs98
    • After three days of pressure from angry users and the threat of a formal legal complaint by a coalition of consumer advocacy groups, the company reversed changes to its contract with users that had appeared to give it perpetual ownership of their contributions to the service.
  • Facebook’s Chief Privacy Officer: Users Own All Their Data
    • TAt the end of the segment, Kelly says in no uncertain terms that Facebook users own all their data. It’s a notable declaration as Facebook goes through the process of figuring out exactly how to move forward with its Terms of Service.
  • My question: Why should we expect to own all of our data?

[edit] Project Proposals

  • Please take a minute or two to share:
    • Your idea for your term project
    • How you plan to go about studying/researching/designing/etc. your project.
    • Why you're interested in the project

[edit] Questions

  • Could we survive without the technology? Are we over-reliant on mediation?
  • Technology and society's co-construction - we shape technology as technology shapes us.
  • "if online social interactions become more the norm than face-to-face, will the online personna stay close to the "real selves" personna, such that the online personna can function if/when individuals meet in real life as friends or couples?"
  • CMC as a form of social support - your networked friends won't let you down?
  • Flaming and CMC
    • What factors make "flaming" (and other negative activities) seem different online?
    • What, if anything, is unique about CMC?
