This throws up some interesting IP/copyright issues, what should you/shouldn’t you post,

…it’s difficult to get young people/students (and sometimes the not so young) to think carefully about what they post on social networking sites, to think about the image of themselves they are portraying and what might seem a harmless bit of fun now might come back to haunt them in a few months/years time, are the language/images used going to be appropriate or detrimental in a few months time and how many of us really look carefully at the privacy settings – will this change things, I personally doubt it. I think if you presume that anything you put on the internet is out there forever regardless if you want it there or not.

there is the “subject only to your privacy settings” sentence, so if we all keep these up-to date … is that ok then…restricted to my Friends, since that’s what my privacy settings are set for.!?!  The next question then is  -Who are my/your friends-

(oh yes 27th feb wasn’t it), will I ever get to the finishing line before my head explodes?     answers via …tweet     ….. tweet…..     tweet….

Ok I’m getting used to it, might be ok after all, just miss my extra choice of fonts, having a winge, don’t like change when its imposed on me…
