Facebook is launching Tag Suggestions that will use facial recognition software to automatically suggest people to tag in your photos. For now, it's only for your friends and you can opt out of being searched, but I think it's only a matter of time until they open it up to more people. What do you think? http://mashable.com/2010/12/15/facebook-photo-tag-suggestions/

I bet they'll get a bunch of flack for making yet another questionable feature "opt-out." I'm mostly curious to see how well it works...

A labor board just ruled that employees have the right to discuss their employers/bosses on Facebook and other social networks. The board ruled that it's illegal to restrict employees from talking to each other about their bosses and ruled that Facebook was similar to talking around the water cooler. Thoughts? http://ow.ly/372Ce

Discussions about workplace issues have happened in households, restaurants, churches, bars, fraternal clubs and community centers since the first initial unionization drives in the early 20th century. Working conditions, unionization efforts and labor disputes have been well publicized in newspapers, TV and internet reports. All of that with worker protection.
So why would social media be any different? If the dispute got out via newspaper about the dispute, the worker would still be protected.

If you talk around the water cooler and blow off with trusted friends (i.e. very controlled Facebook friends list), you likely won't get into trouble but your friends could always tell on you.
If you stand around the water cooler and mouth off to anyone who is there and they go to your boss about it, it's a valid complaint against you. One Facebook firing was based on the employee having the boss as a Facebook friend and denigrated him and the company publicly. That's like my employee coming to me and say I hate working here and for you. I saw the Facebook comments she did, it was inappropriate no matter where it was said. The employer was completely justified to fire her to protect their customers.

I was reading about Mark Zuckerberg in Forbes today and they had an interesting stat. 63% of people surveyed in US don't trust Facebook with their data, but 90% of people surveyed use facebook. Why do you think that is?

Have you guys heard about this Google employee who was fired for accessing private user data? Check out the story here: http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/web_services/showArticle.jh...
As Google admits, there's always going to need to be a select number of employees who have access to your most personal data if they really want it. Kind of scary...

This inside security breach makes me wonder how many other breaches of security were unreported or undetected at Google. Google did the right thing by dismissing the employee. It doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling to know about this incident. It just goes to show that one weak link in the chain is all that is needed to break perceived security.

Facebook has "suspended" my account and is making me identify pictures of my "friends".
(most of the pictures are ones that I never paid any attention to!)

Does anyone know how to contact FaceBook and fix this problem?
Any ideas?

"Your account has been temporarily suspended"
"... please identify the people tagged in the following series of photos.
TO PASS, YOU CANNOT GET ANY ANSWERS WRONG.
You can only skip 2 questions.

As best I know, you're only hope is to scour the contact us pages and try to email someone over there. Realistically, this may not get you very far, unfortunately. I hear they are opening a new office in Austin, TX to specifically help solve customer service stuff like this. It's B.S. though that there's nothing you can do in this situation. Facebook (and Google) are sort of the mindset that it's a free service, so people don't deserve customer service.

When you die, what will happen to your personal brand? I just read about this company https://www.mywebwill.com/ that gives you a central hub where you can plan what will happen with your web presence across all social networks and games. Article (I'll post link in comment) says "You can bequeath World of Warcraft armor to a friend, prepare a final tweet, or automatically send an email to all your gmail contacts." Do you care enough about your personal brand to take care of it after you're dead?
