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.

The Bamboo Project Blog: Privacy, Social Media and Learning
Businesses and organizations may worry about social media and Web 2.0 tools in terms of privacy and confidentiality, but their fears are largely unfounded. If people are going to share your secrets, they have plenty of other ways to do so besides social media--and those other ways are likely more effective.
-
Social media is actually a really poor method for talking about things I shouldn't be discussing because through search and the very nature of social networks, it makes it extremely unlikely that I can keep this activity a secret for very long.
-
Consider what would happen, though, if we turned to social media for the majority of our interactions within an organization. If we're posting questions and answers on a blog or wiki, using social networks to interact and share information, as a learning professional I can monitor those channels to see where additional learning interventions might be appropriate.Not as a punishment, mind you, but as a sort of ongoing just-in-time learning needs analysis and opportunity for coaching. If a lot of questions suddenly start popping up on the network, that's a pretty good sign that as a learning professional I may need to do something.

Study: Googling Oneself Is More Popular -- chicagotribune.com
Interesting stats on looking up yourself, friends, and others through search engines. Most people say they aren't concerned about the information available about them online and that it is accurate. The low number of people reporting negative experiences from online information was a surprise to me--the fears about transparency don't seem to be backed up with data.
-
Few Internet users say they Google themselves regularly -- about three-quarters of self-searchers say they have done so only once or twice. And most who have done so consider what they find accurate. Only 4 percent of Internet users said embarrassing or inaccurate information online resulted in a bad experience.

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."
