"Facebook faces criticism on privacy change" ~ Digital rights groups and bloggers have heaped criticism on Facebook's changed privacy policy. - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...

"Critics said the changes were unwelcome and "nudged" people towards sharing updates with the wider web and made them findable via search engines. The changes were introduced on 9 December via a pop-up that asked users to update privacy settings. Facebook said the changes help members manage updates they wanted to share, not trick them into revealing too much. "Facebook is nudging the settings toward the 'disclose everything' position," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the US Electronic Privacy Information Center (Epic). "That's not fair from the privacy perspective." Epic said it was analysing the changes to see if they amounted to trickery. Control reduction In a statement, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said: "These new 'privacy' changes are clearly intended to push Facebook users to publicly share even more information than before. " It added: "Even worse, the changes will actually reduce the amount of control that users have over some of their personal data."...

Which is your favourite way to share and bookmark? del.icio.us vs Friendfeed vs Twitter vs G Reader Notes
Anthony Farrior, Sara, Noah Carter and 6 other people liked this
del.icio.us is my favorite. I can use Quicksilver on my mac to instantly find by tag the link I'm looking for.
- Brome
For bookmarking definitely del.icio.us in combination with local deli, Friendfeed for sharing because it aggregates all of the other services.
- Werner Trotter
Google Bookmarks because it syncs with Google Notebook and my Tumblelog for sharing links.
- Svartling
I've been using diigo rather than delicious and like the service. The problem is sites like FriendFeed don't include it in my stream. Still looking for FriendFeed support. I may have to start using del.icio.us again just so it is included in my stream because I do bookmark a lot of links that I want to share with others.
- Ellen Moore
Google Reader Shared and Notes, definitely.
- MLx
Del.icio.us which is picked up by Twitterfeed and posted to Twitter which then is picked up by FriendFeed.
- Robert Sanzalone
i guess it's considered old school, but delicious still works great for me...via feedalizr
- David Jacobs
I'm really big into Diigo lately. Has been really helpful in collaborating in maintaining a website. My client puts notes all over his site saying what he wants changed. I change it and not it in the note.
- Bill Bittner
I'm addicted to del.icio.us: I post everything to it... well, almost everything!
- Yaser Sulaiman
i love delicious. i use it for bookmarking / sharing pages i come across. I use Google Reader to bookmark / share feeds. It annoys me that I'm building up two separate repositories, is there a way to sync the two (a delicious brand feed reader spin-off would be ace!). I'm using a greasemonkey script in GReader but it's a poor substitute. Can anyone IM with a solution?
- stuart brown
Each has it's merits. I'm more inclined to G Reader notes because of the convenience since I'm on Google's web services most of the time. FF will aggregates all other services.
- Jonathan Kong
I use del.icio.us to bookmark. But I also use GReader, FF, Twitter, ReadBag....Ahhhhh when does it end?
- KACCKCM
I used to use del.icio.us but now that you can link anywhere from in gReader, I'll almost always share w/note. I do still refer to my del.icio.us network though - I guess I'd better start contributing again. ;)
- MLx
They are very different and all serve different purposes. I don't see how I can compare them. But If I had to choose 1 that I had to have over the others, it would be GReader.
- Steaprok
GReader is #1 for me by a wide margin.
- Kevin D. White
Google reader
- Ethan Klapper
I go to the optimal opportunity to share. del.icio.us All this talk of buying Yahoo. If Yahoo bought friendfeed there would be no need to sell. think about it. Yahoo suffers from fragmentation and no centralized core.

It would be nice to have filters on FriendFeed. For instance, it would be nice to be able to hide any post containing the word "Obama" without having to hide someone's other stuff. Or the ability to hide any entry containing the word "ubuntu", etc.

or turn off updates from friends or your friends. I can't keep up with the friends I have, let alone their friends.
- Gary H
Gary, you can turn off updates from friends of friends. If you see it, click on "Hide", "More hide options" and you can find the option there, as "Hide ALL stuff from friends-of-friends".
- Louis Gray
I just want the ability to create subsets of friends without doing it in an RSS reader.
- Ryan Brenizer
I'm big on filtering too. FF doesn't have as much noise as GReader, but filters would be nice.
- Mike Reynolds
Holy cow, yes. I would *love* to be able to filter out all the political posts...
- Matthew Freeman
from Alert Thingy
Actually, Friendfeed should highlight all entries containing 'ubuntu' imho. ;)
- roel
haha hide ubuntu ;)
- Tyler Gillies
It would be nice to work the other way and bump up stories containing a keyword of your choice. Kind of like track, Would be useful to follow discussion on your company
- Jamie
Sounds like a perfect job for a Greasemonkey script.
- TranceMist
Couldn't agree more!
- Matt
If you hide a conversation, do all of the FF apps hide it too? Also, is it possible to hide a conversation from w/in Alert Thingy or Twhirl?
- Bob
There is an urgent need to PRIORITIZE (recommend) new/unread Friendfeed items by personal relevance/importance. Is anyone working on this? In its current incarnation, Friendfeed is an unwieldy mess and time waster compared to Google Reader.
- Sean McBride
I think some of this was the idea behind "rooms" where someone could, say, create an "obama" room and everyone (how do they find out?) would join up and then only post obama stuff to that room and not in the general feed. Then it'd be up to you to join that room or not. Then it also filters accordingly, too.
- lilbyrdie
but don't things that you post in a room still show up to everyone following you?
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, only if your followers also belong to that room.
- Mark Trapp
ahhhhh, ok, that's what I wasn't getting. That makes more sense now. Thanks Mark.
- Thomas Hawk
Or just use a client to apply the filters. Anyone know of one?
- Roberto Bonini
What Gary H said. The ability to turn off originating posts from friends of friends.
- Bryan Nystrom
Step By Step Directions...1) Click 'Hide' on a Friend of a Friend entry. 2) Click 'See options for hiding other items like this'. 3) Select the option you want and select 'Hide Entries'.

Ha Ubuntu....Wait!

Btw, did u know that by turning off your pc when it is not in use that you can shave approximately $7 per month off your electricity bill? May not sound like a lot to some people, but I can sure use that extra $7 - to put gas in my car!
- Sharon McPherson
I only shut it down on the weekends... I really should do it more but I always am half finished different things at the end of the day that I don't want to close
- Natitude
yes, i don't want to fry my MacBook Pro. It cost too much!
- Ethan Klapper

I put my macs to sleep and leave the dell running. I've read that I should now turn them off, but am still in the habit from years back when the IT staff was always telling us to leave them on. Also of course some processes are run at night, so it's handy for that.

- Joe Dawson
No...24/7 unless the power goes out. And yes, polls are needed on FF.
- Shane Floyd
Why do we need polls? We are not majority but minority! If we agree with an issue we say it, we disagree we say it! Let's build a consensus not vote!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
+1 to poll feature! Actually better yet, extend FF so that an external poll widget can be plugged into it. Hmm.. that'd make FF pretty bloated and kill usability.
- Wil
Every network that I participated and observed that has polls I found the network distorted! Power users control it, and mob rules! You do not like Digg because the real issues get buried while the popular stuff gets a Digg! So why do you want polls here? Or we talking about different thing? I would not want someone voting on comment, if it is good or bad.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
@Igor The Troll - I am not sure if MikeonTV is referring to voting on post or comments. What I think would be neat is if you could turn your post into a tallied poll. I may be wrong, but I think this is what MikeonTV is talking about also.
- Shane Floyd
I prefer we talk about issues not vote on them! Voting does not really work as you have seen from American democracy! Is America truly democratic?
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Yes I agree with you, talking about issues is what it is all about. I just believe, for a simple yes or no post such as this, a poll would work.
- Shane Floyd
Is it simple? By talking about it, we educate ourselves about the benefits and the disadvantages of polling.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I shut mine down but I'm wondering what this has to do with the topic of 'social media'.
- Maki
@Maki I'm treating rooms like a forum. Since there aren't sub-rooms yet I'm going to assume I can ask social media users anything I'm curious about regarding their activities and habits online. I wont be asking people what they had for breakfast here but this question is within the boundaries of social media. The answers were insightful as well. Thanks all!

You can have people commenting where THEY choose but still get the info back to where you can get to it easily. A win for both sides.
