Facebook's Trainwreck
I just read Boyd's article about Facebook's Trainwreck. After reading it I revisited my privacy settings for my Facebook account and realized that I hadn't fully understood some of the settings. Now I have a much better understanding of my privacy settings, particularly as related to the News Feed feature (which was the focus of Boyd's article). So, if it took this much for a reasonably educated and cautious adult to get my privacy settings right, what are the chances that students who just sign-up and go get it right?

I just set up my Facebook account and have to say I'm pretty impressed with the sophistication of the site - especially the ability you have to adjust who can see various elements of your facebook. My daugther actually allowed me to be her friend on facebook - I'm probably ruining her reputation at this very minute. :)
Anyway, despite having just started to understand how it works, I think Facebook is pretty cool and a much more extensive and efficient way of networking than when I was in HS.
