Article about some of the egregious breaks in privacy at Facebook as well as the conditions of the proposed settlement against Facebook (-- still the WORLD wide web, though!)----------------Facebook has agreed to settle the Federal Trade Commission’s eight-count complaint in which the FTC charged that the social networking service, which is widely used by libraries, had deceived consumers by promising to keep their information private and then repeatedly making it public.......Under the proposed settlement, Facebook is:    barred from making misrepresentations about the privacy or security of

So, you've written a lot of notes and would now like to turn them into a blog or perhaps you have a ton of photos on facebook but now need a copy of them - lost your originals (egads), or you'd like to move them to Flickr or Picasa (which is also shared thru to Google+).There are a variety of ways to get your photos, some using extensions or addons (if you are a Chrome user and just want to move your photos from Facebook to Google+, try the Move2Picasa extension).If you know of other extensions

Question of the day:...so, how do you *do* twitter? It seems different than fb. Any words of wisdom?A:Twitter is different from facebook for me.Twitter is a very dynamic sharing, learning, and network tool. Facebook can be that, too, but it's more a mashup and convulated (imho). So how do I do it?

• Use 'tweet this' buttons. When I read some (google reader, facebook, new york times, wherever) if I find it interesting & it has a ‘tweet this’ button – I do. Same with delicious bookmarking!
• Feed my blog to twitter.

So, my question of the day (QOD) is:I use Dreamweaver to design web pages. Do any of you use something that you would consider "easy" to use? I am trying to teach someone else how to manage a simple web site.A: Some questions to consider:

• How big is the site 
• Is it hosted on their own webspace
• Can it migrated to a simple CMS (content management system)?
• What does it need to do? What is the audience? 

My approach would be to rethink the whole site workflow. If it needs to be easy to use & simple, Dreamweaver seems like overkill to me.

peerindex (a reputation management/metrics site) has launched a new search engine called peekyou (http://www.peekyou.com). It searches across facebook, linkedin, twitter, friendster, myspace, several people search engines (intellius, spokeo, etc.) and even wikipedia.

So Facebook is rolling out new changes to your news feed (you may have it already). On the plus side for privacy: You can control who sees stuff that is posted about you (like tagged photos) which finally closes one huge privacy leak (changes will not affect older photos but you can retrospectively change them - tomorrow's blog topic!).

This is actually easy to do and you could use any URL shortener such as bit.ly, is.gd, etc. but there is now a URL tool to make a nifty "custom" url for your Google+ profile, Gplus.to. Gplus.to uses your username or Google id number. Didn't know you had an id number at Google? Well you do.
