Hi Bloggers!
Today we continue our discussion on online communities and MySpace. We watched a video called "MyFace" courtesy of Triple J's The Hack Half Hour. The program is like an open panel discussion, where people from many fields, backgrounds and online users come together to give social commentary on a particular subject.
This episodes topic was social networking and more importantly MySpace. The Panelists were bloggers, Myspace users, employers and industry people. Many questions of privacy and 'reasonableness' were asked. The host questioned whether it was a wide move to post drunken photos or personal information? What kind of an image does ones profile portray of their true identity? And how much information are you giving away when you sign on? Hackers are omnipresent - only a tiny bit of information about yourself can be sufficient for them to hack into your online accounts. One of the panelists also commented on the fact that even after you have deleted an online account or left a network, the 'hosts' still hang onto your deleted information - a scary thought hey?
The video was fascinating and different individuals views on he subject was excellent!
Until Next Time,
