If you ever want to impress anyone with your knowledge of Facebook miscellanea, below is the ultimate cheat sheet in the form of a very large infographic. Enjoy!
Facebook: Facts You Probably Didn't Know [INFOGRAPHIC]
Michael Zimmer.org » Blog Archive » Facebook’s Zuckerberg: “Havi
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has a history of speaking his mind on privacy, and what he speaks is often fraught with problems, ignorance, and arrogance. For example: SocialBeat has a very thoughtful piece urging Zuckerberg to be forthright and explain what he truly and genuinely believes about privacy. While searching for evidence of Zuckerberg’s broader philosophy of information, a passage from David Kirkpatrick’s forthcoming book, The Facebook Effect , is quoted:
This week on the PCWorld Podcast, editors Robert Strohmeyer, Mark Sullivan, Ginny Mies, and Nick Mediati dig into the latest Facebook privacy fiasco , uncovered by the PCWorld and Macworld teams on Wednesday night. Nick Mediati recaps how the problem was spotted, and how Facebook responded to our story. Our resident telecom watcher, senior editor Mark Sullivan, talks us through the FCC's new overtures toward regulating the broadband industry , and what it means for the future of net neutrality.
Yet Another Facebook Privacy Fiasco on PCWorld Podcast 76 - PCWo
Facebook is a big part of millions and millions of peoples' lives, but what happens when you pull the plug? Last night I met a man who walked to the edge of the cliff and nearly deactivated his Facebook account. He took a screenshot of what he saw after clicking the "deactivate my account" link on his account page - and it is pretty far-out. That man considered quitting Facebook because it was having an adverse emotional impact on him and I'll spare him and his contacts from posting the screenshot he shared with me. I have posted below though a shot of the screen I saw when I clicked that button myself. Check it out.

Facebook's New Policies Make Harassment Easy
[Updates are posted below the main article.] North Africa has become a testing ground for a new sort of online harassment, and ReadWriteWeb is in the middle of it. Groups of Islamists are using the proliferation of Facebook's public pages to single out users they consider ideologically unorthodox (a broad category indeed by their definition) and then using Facebook's public ban process to stop their mouths. Once a target is identified, groups of allied Facebook users report the target as defying terms of service. Once a certain number of users mark a profile to be blocked, Facebook automatically does so.Editor's note: Pete Cashmore is founder and CEO of Mashable , a popular blog about social media. He writes a weekly column about social networking and technology for CNN.com . London, England (CNN) -- Facebook dropped a bombshell on the tech industry last week in the form of a Web-wide "Like" button and the launch of the "Open Graph." Using this new platform, Web sites can drive Web traffic from Facebook by including Like buttons on their pages; every Like posts an update to that user's Facebook page. What's more, any Web site can customize its experience for you, if you're logged into Facebook: Suddenly CNN.com stories can be ranked not just by an editor but by your friends too.

The Problem With Community Pages
This post is by William Beutler, Innovation Manager at New Media Strategies , an online marketing and intelligence firm in Arlington, Virginia. Among the changes announced at F8 last week, the one most users are likely aware of already is the introduction of Community Pages and the linking of user profiles to them. This has caused a great deal of confusion for both the average user as well as the companies and brands who maintain a presence on Facebook. (In the interests of disclosure, I have clients for whom this is an issue, although I will not use them as examples.) In my view, Facebook now faces a number of issues to resolve that could have been avoided if the rollout had been planned more carefully: at present, Community Pages are hurt by a lack of transparency, a plethora of redundancy and too little explanation of their quirks. Just about every change to Facebook these days raises some privacy concerns, and this is no exception.
Facebook users who choose not to link their user accounts to Facebook's public Pages are ending up with blank profiles containing no information at all. If you haven't experienced this problem, it's probably thanks to the somewhat high-pressure tactics Facebook is using to get you to accept these changes. The next time you visit your Profile page (if you haven't done so already), you'll be introduced to the new " Connected Profiles " option, one of the many potentially concerning privacy-related changes announced at Facebook's f8 developer conference last week. With this option, the text in your Facebook profile section where you list your hometown, education, work and interests, is now being linked to the respective pages on Facebook. So for example, if you live in New York, that's linked directly to a page for New York. If your favorite TV show is "Lost," you'll be linked to that show's page, and so on.

Firefox Steps Up to Challenge Facebook's Claim to Identity
The team behind Mozilla's Firefox browser announced today the availability of experimental code that website owners can add to their pages to allow site visitors to create an account, log-in or switch users with just a few simple clicks and no password to remember. The unveiling comes a week after Facebook fired a big shot across the web , staking a claim as the dominant provider of one-click portable identity. These two technologies seem aimed right at each other and engineers at both companies have no doubt been following each others' work closely. The Mozilla technology is called Account Manager and is intended to become an open specification that any other browser can build on top of as well. Supporting browsers will automatically generate and remember diverse, high-strength passwords for users and allow multiple users to switch easily between accounts when visiting common websites on one computer.Big brother s'attaque aux réseaux sociaux
La lecture de la fiche produit de Social Sentry laisse pantois. Cette solution éditée en mode Saas par Teneros propose ni plus ni moins aux entreprises de surveiller l'activité de leurs employés sur les médias sociaux de type Twitter ou Myspace. « Plus de 70 % des “cols blancs” ont des comptes Facebook et un certain nombre de sociétés comme Pizza's Domino et British Airways ont récemment vu leur image ternie par les agissements de leurs employés sur les réseaux sociaux », justifie cet éditeur américain. Dans le cas de British Airways, des photos sexy d'hôtesses de la compagnie aérienne avaient été postées sur Facebook.
What price privacy?
In recent months, there has been Google and now Facebook vying to use our data on the Web. Google were the first with their Buzz product, using all our Gmail contacts to start a social network. This received a heavy amount of criticism for its invasion of privacy, from which, in my opinion, it has never fully recovered. At last weeks Facebook developers conference CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced their Open Graph and Open Graph API.CIO — Privacy has long been a thorny issue for Facebook: Three years ago, the social networking site unveiled its Beacon advertising project, which resulted in a class-action lawsuit . December's privacy changes aimed at encouraging users to share more information publicly evoked plenty of criticism. And this week at Facebook's f8 conference, Facebook announced even more changes that affect users' privacy.

On an otherwise placid holiday weekend, one blog's commentary on a change to Facebook's terms of service created a firestorm of banter on the Web: does the social network claim ownership to any user content on the site, even if the user deletes it? Facebook reorganized its terms of service last Wednesday. In a blog post , company legal representative Suzie White provided an explanation. "We used to have several different documents that outlined what people could and could not do on Facebook, but now we're consolidating all this information to one central place," White wrote. "We've also simplified and clarified a lot of information that applies to you, including some things you shouldn't do when using the site." The blog post sounded benign.news » Blog Archive » p2pnet World Headlines: April 24, 2010
