Facebook/Myspace Considerations
20 May 2009 - 5:47pm
I read this article recently from the New York Times and though it was worth sharing. The article talks about the implications of having government agencies/individuals as friends on your facebook or myspace pages. I'll be honest. I did "friend" Obama during the election as a means of getting up to date information and to show my support. But I had not thought about what that might mean in terms of information sharing. You can find the story here:

Social networking sites like facebook, myspace, and among others are very useful in spreading information. I agree that they use those websites in order to know the ideas or opinion about campaign for example. They can also get a good suggestion from people.
