Nothing specific, was just curious. I tried it out for a few days, but am not convinced yet. Maybe it will take me some more time dabbling with it. Thanks for the offer though! by Aug 31
I personally do not have any experience with it, but can put something out on our Twitter feed to ask, is there something specific you need to know? by Aug 31

The New York Times reported that Facebook would provide users with a downloadable archive containing many types of data that the company stores about users. Although the new archive contains more user information than Facebook first offered in 2010, Max Schrems, the German law student and founder of Europe v. Facebook , said that Facebook is still only providing 39 of 84 data categories.
AMSTERDAM - Facebook gaat binnenkort een nieuwe online reclamevorm introduceren. Het sociale netwerk biedt adverteerders de mogelijkheid om gebruikers advertenties te tonen met foto's en teksten van hun vrienden erin verwerkt. Dit meldden verschillende Amerikaanse businessites. In de nieuwe formule mag een adverteerder iemands foto gebruiken om zijn eigen profiel te promoten. Wanneer een gebruiker bijvoorbeeld de pagina van Starbucks bezoekt, kan een foto van een vriend in beeld verschijnen, die eerder fan van de pagina is geworden.

FACEBOOK users who check in to a store or click the "like" button for a brand may soon find those actions retransmitted on their friends' pages as a "Sponsored Story" paid for by advertisers. Currently there is no way for users to decline this feature. Facebook says this lets advertisers promote word-of-mouth recommendations that people already made on the site.

Facebook straddles a precarious line when it comes to information security and data privacy. As a social networking site, its very existence is based on the premise of freely sharing information--status updates, photos, likes, location check-ins--with others. However, that sharing has to be tempered as well to ensure personal privacy is not violated. This week, Facebook simultaneously introduced a new ad model that could infringe on user privacy, while also improving security for the site itself. Don't tell Facebook, but tomorrow is National Data Privacy Day .
Facebook Erodes Privacy and Tightens Security - PCWorld Business Center
Get ready for Facebook’s latest advertising initiative, where you become the star of the marketing your friends see on their profiles. On Tuesday, the world’s largest social network will launch a new marketing technology known as Sponsored Stories , which will enable advertisers to pull certain pieces of information from a Facebook user’s News Feed and pin them to the profiles of their friends. “It’s a way for marketers to increase the visibility of certain stories that show up in News Feed,” Jim Squires, a member of Facebook’s product marketing team, said in an interview from the company’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California. “Word of mouth, recommendations and endorsements are a huge value to marketers and are happening every day across the News Feed.

No Opting Out Of Facebook Turning Your Check-Ins, Likes Into Ads | Epicenter | Wired.com
Better go check your Facebook profile pic to make sure it’s suitable for advertising—the company has begun using real users’ postings in ads being shown to their friends. The effort is eerily similar to parts of the now-defunct Facebook Beacon, but Facebook is now calling them “sponsored stories,” and users won’t be able to opt out of their posts being used to advertise to friends. The new “feature” started showing up quietly on Wednesday morning without any kind of fanfare from Facebook, but users began to notice it right away.
Latest Facebook Ad Idea Sparks Privacy Concerns - CBS News
NEW YORK - Facebook users who check in to a store or click the "like" button for a brand may soon find those actions retransmitted on their friends' pages as a "Sponsored Story" paid for by advertisers. Currently there is no way for users to decline this feature. Facebook says this lets advertisers promote word-of-mouth recommendations that people already made on the site. They play up things people do on the site that might get lost in the mass of links, photos, status updates and other content users share on the world's largest social network. The new, promoted posts would keep the same privacy setting that the original posting had. So if you limit your check-ins to a specific group of friends, only these same friends would see the "Sponsored Story" version later.Facebook Should Offer Sponsored Stories on an Opt-in Basis [Op-Ed]
David Berkowitz is Senior Director of Emerging Media & Innovation for digital marketing agency 360i , where he develops social media and mobile programs for marketers spanning the media & entertainment, retail, travel, and CPG industries. When you publicly interact with your favorite companies on Facebook, is it okay for those companies to feature your posts in a way that only your friends can see them? If you’re fine with the first scenario, then Facebook can do no wrong by you.
WikiLeaks and the Possibility of Open Diplomacy
Home > Ideas > Innovations Text Size: A A At Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson, who was president of the university before he became president of the United States, is never far away. His larger-than-life image looks out across the dining hall at Wilson College, where I am a fellow, and Prospect House, the dining facility for academic staff, was his family home when he led the university. So when the furor erupted over WikiLeaks' recent release of a quarter-million diplomatic cables, I was reminded of Wilson's 1918 speech in which he put forward " Fourteen Points " for a just peace to end World War I.
In one of the diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks Putin and Medvedev are compared to Batman and Robin. It’s a useful analogy: isn’t Julian Assange, WikiLeaks’s organiser, a real-life counterpart to the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight ? In the film, the district attorney, Harvey Dent, an obsessive vigilante who is corrupted and himself commits murders, is killed by Batman. Batman and his friend police commissioner Gordon realise that the city’s morale would suffer if Dent’s murders were made public, so plot to preserve his image by holding Batman responsible for the killings. The film’s take-home message is that lying is necessary to sustain public morale: only a lie can redeem us. No wonder the only figure of truth in the film is the Joker, its supreme villain.

RETHINKING INFORMATION PRIVACY IN ANAGE OF ONLINE TRANSPARENCY
Writing in the Guardian , Seth Finklestein says: We cannot expect that having large warehouses of data on individuals will be free from unintended consequences, especially when there are incentives to try to build highly detailed models of everyone's lives. The price of total personalisation is total surveillance. Transparency suggests a more active role, rather than an imposed view. You have to BE transparent.
