facebook losing face?




We're not to the social networking class yet, but this news appeared on BBC today: Facebook is being challenged by a Canadian privacy group.

Brings up the question of privacy with any of these 2.0 tools.

Tim Berners Lee:
"Imagine that everything you are typing is being read by the person you are applying to for your first job. Imagine that it's all going to be seen by your parents and your grandparents and your grandchildren as well." [taken from here]

A lot of companies are routinely going through Facebook profiles as part of the hiring process. It may be a good idea to keep that in mind when posting anything on this site - in other words don't put anything there that you may not want employers to read.
