Facebook censored my posted item

I’m a big fan of the “posted items” feature on Facebook. It’s an easy way of sharing “interesting” links that I find on the Internet without spamming my friends’ e-mail accounts or taking the time to write a whole big blog post about it. Yesterday, I posted a link to this Read-Write-Web [...]

back in the saddle

-After a week of easing back into work post-vacation (read: chatting with co-workers, catching up on correspondence/reading and watching out for rats…um, without going into too much detail about that last one, let me just say this: THERE IS A REASON WE WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT FOOD IN THE LIBRARY, KIDS!!!), I am [...]

Facebook and Law Libraries

I’m leaving tomorrow for SEALL, where I’m going to be doing a presentation on Facebook and Law Libraries.  I’m not sure if the slides will be posted on the SEALL website or not.  If they’re not, and you’re dying to see them, let me know and I can send you a CD.  (70 slides + [...]

The MySpace/Facebook connection

It seems like every time someone makes the news, reporters immediately jump on Facebook or MySpace to see if there’s any information to be found.    In the case of the recent Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, there was.
She actually didn’t have to delete everything.  She could have just limited her profile visibility to her friends [...]

My Mom Facebooked Me

I spent a good chunk of my afternoon at the annual Women’s Law Caucus luncheon, which this year honored soon-t0-be retiring UK Law Executive Dean Carolyn Bratt.   The luncheon was attended by over one hundred members of the Lexington legal community, Judges, as well as UK Law Faculty and students.  I sat with a group [...]

Today’s Minor Facebook Victory

One of the reasons that Facebook has had outstanding growth, in my opinion, is because of the wide variety of applications that are available. Why are there so many available? Because Facebook opened up its platform to developers and allows pretty much anyone to create an application. For free.
Ever since I [...]

The Internet’s Answer to Crack Cocaine

…and then there’s Yoko

It’s sometimes hard to convince people that when I’m “goofing around on Facebook” I’m actually working.  Sure, there’s fun elements to it like “Superpoke!” and “Scrabulous”, but I am also doing a little anthropological participant observation.   The only way we’ll be able to figure out how to use Facebook effectively is to see how “regular [...]

How to Block Beacon and Other External Websites on Facebook

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted an apology for the Beacon service on the Facebook blog yesterday.   As part of this, he announced that Facebook users have option of blocking all external websites from sending information to their profile.  Here’s how you do it.
This is my Facebook profile.  On the top right hand corner, there’s a [...]

Facebook Beacon (includes list of partner sites)

Like duct tape, The Force and seemingly everything else that’s holding my life together at the present moment, it appears that Facebook has a bit of a dark side. Well, it actually may not be that dark. It just seems like whenever a large corporation (or other agent of The Man) and privacy [...]
