10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know
If you're using Facebook, especially if you use it with multiple groups of people (friends, family, professional contacts, bloggers), friend lists are highly recommended. This is also a good article to pass along to people who are resistant. To some extent, I figure all the privacy is illusory; people can still share what they know, after all. But it's at least some protection.
iterating toward openness » Blog Archive » If Facebook Worked Like Blackboard
A short post, but very pointed--if Facebook worked like an LMS, no real community would ever develop. Questions the whole idea of closed educational systems.
-
- shut down all the groups you belonged to,
- deleted all your forum posts,
- removed all the photos, videos, and other files you had shared, and
- forgot who your friends were.
What if Facebook worked like Blackboard (or pretty much any other LMS)?
Imagine if every fifteen weeks Facebook:

Students tell universities: Get out of MySpace! | Students | EducationGuardian.co.uk
-
Student reactions to universities using social networking tooks like MySpace and Facebook as learning mediums. In general, they don't want the tools used for formal learning; they want to keep some separation between their personal and school lives. However, students also like using the communication tools for more informal purposes, like getting to know their professors or for instant tutoring.

Online spaces are blurring, as universities that podcast and text their students have shown. The Jisc project manager, Lawrie Phipps, explains how the battle lines are being drawn: "Students really do want to keep their lives separate. They don't want to be always available to their lecturers or bombarded with academic information."

Facebook and the Enterprise: Part 5: Knowledge Management | confused of calcutta
-
Some ideas about knowledge management and sharing learning, with Facebook as a potential tool for creating an environment where people can share
- christyinsdesign on 2007-08-23
-
I believe there are three primary reasons why an enterprise would want to “manage its knowledge”:
One, to share learning, so that the same mistake is not made multiple times.
Two, to share learning, so that activities get sped up.
Three, to share learning, so that people are motivated to learn and to teach.
To share learning.
-
Knowledge management is not really about the content, it is about creating an environment where learning takes place. Maybe we spend too much time trying to create an environment where teaching takes place, rather than focus on the learning.

Learning Visions: Half of Companies Blocking Facebook
-
Summary of an article that shows half of all companies blocking Facebook. The claim is that people waste too much time and they might leak information. Cammy questions whether information is really at risk or whether this is a paranoid effort at control.

But what information is it that is actually being "leaked" through Facebook by these irresponsible employees ?
The article gives no specifics, making me wonder if the threat is real or just imagined by the corporate control freaks.

Could social networking sites like Facebook be a PLE? What if LMSs like Blackboard and Moodle had a way to export the content so it could "seamlessly integrate" with Facebook?

Post (from a very grumpy writer) pointing out a major flaw in the idea of using Facebook as an LMS--the TOS means all content posted through Facebook grants a non-exclusive license to the work.
