Social netiquette: Why parents should learn some modern manners

Being a woman who is concerned to comply with social and business etiquette, I have become increasingly alarmed about the lack of netiquette in some aspects of our digital lives. The most extreme examples of unruliness seem to come from people who are old enough to know better,… Continue

Would you pay for Facebook?

The Guardian today reports on the Sun Valley conference in Idaho, where the big guns in digital media network, discuss industry issues, massage one another's egos and mumble about the evils of the press (presumably). Twitter is said to be among the hot topics of the day and much debate circled around one key question: Will users ever be willing to pay for sites like YouTube, Twitter & Facebook? John Malone of Liberty Media thinks so, believing when we're hooked we're hooked. Rupert Murdoc… Continue

Are you an online update junkie?

Interesting article in the new edition of Psychologies magazine which reports on a new syndrome called Status Update Anxiety which is rising out of the use of social networking sites like Twitter, Dopplr, Facebook and some of the more “niche” sites such as Mon.thly.Info which (bizarrely) tracks menstrual cycles and Bedpost which invites users to chart their sex life!

Question: is it ok that other countries have made their own version of facebook?

I know people are saying that these sites are clones and therefore shouldn't be allowed, but then surely we would then need to know who owns the idea of Social Networking? Check out the top 10 international facebook clones http://mashable.com/2007/07/11/10-facebook-clones/… Continue
