Yay to John for unpacking fb’s arguments against privacy and for data collecion.

Facebook’s argument is along the lines of arguing that the police shouldn’t crack down on burglaries because doing so might hurt pawn shops that have been thriving during a years-long crime spree. The information used for tracking belongs to the users whose behavior and interests is being tracked, not to Facebook and the companies, no matter how small and noble, who advertise with them.

Magazine Preview – The Data-Driven Life – NYTimes.com – Looks at lifelogging. Takes on some pocketbook psychology, but discusses the trend and some practice well. – (lifelogging tracking socialpractices )
How Social Media is Affecting the Way We Speak and Write – Light weight observations on social media, ending with the inevitable "it all depends" "There is no single right or wrong way to assimilate “social speak” into our lives and work — it all depends upon your own time and tolerance, your setting, your colleagues, and even the image you want to project. For better or for worse, though, we are all in a new world of communications — and most of us will have to learn the new language." – (socialpractices socialmedia twitter )
