Excellent post. One day there will need to be a class on Facebook's privacy settings.

Yeah, the 4% of the computer buying public that don't mind plunking down substantial sums for their computing devices is an excellent demographic to cater to. Wonder if they're having a party over on Architosh.

Good post.

Most excellent. Seems like one TC post actually had Echo comments which was really nice then they were gone. What happened?! This is a major step forward and on a TECH blog at that.

Sadly employment decisions based on social media are not about getting the best qualified applicants. This is very similar to some employers who won't consider people who are not currently employed as in were recently laid off during the economic downturn. These are two disturbing trends in employment and are dare I say very disturbing.

Primarily one of the reasons for an interview is to provide context to a resume and clarify points of interest and or concern. Not considering people for hire because they're not currently working and firing people summarily because of a Facebook page imply thoughtlessness on the part of people (employers), claiming to have a clue and trying to hire supposedly other potential candidates (job seekers), also claiming to have a clue. The recent Shirley Sherrod incident should be a lesson to every employer on Earth about the importance of getting the facts and yes, context.

I've seen some pictures that looked pretty bad but pictures on Facebook or anywhere else don't necessarily say virgin drinks or last time drinking ever that was five years ago only the friend or family member that tagged it didn't put the date.
In the end we'll see how not as qualified but smart enough not to have a Facebook page turns out for a country on the ropes in a global economy, trying to compete against increasingly more qualified workers and better educated countries. Hope it works out, I live in that country.

Given the nature of Facebook and the fact that employers, potential employers and co-workers with axes to grind trawl Facebook looking for fodder, I don't think people need more reason to want a private network for friends than that.
However, the reason everyone goes with the whole "...let Joe Public read your tasty goings on..." is because its far easier to monetize maybe. Given the historical relationship that humans have with "trends" a site or several that are the complete opposite of Facebook, perhaps encouraging the use of pseudonyms and stinginess with the details towards strangers will likely be widely popular in a few years. Why not this one I guess.
