A few scribblings from the Module 5 reading My Life As A Dog:
"Online, you are increasingly the incessant record of your every twitch and grunt."
"This is what social networks and related services tend to obscure: the normal directedness of communication. It should be to, not just from."
"Bloggers often cite a rule of thumb: never write anything you wouldn't want your grandmother to read"
A really interesting read about web 2.0, communication and security. It makes me wonder if in the future we will all need some sort of searchable online space where we keep all of our information like a virtual CV. Should we in the library community worry if we blog or share our opinions of library services on Facebook?
