Last night I had the opportunity to hear a talk by one of Facebook’s founders, Chris Hughes, as part of the Famous Entrepreneurs Series of Central New York.

Continuing with my recent focus on the expectation of privacy in our online activities (which I argue should not be expected at all), I wanted to share an interesting article from the New York Times Room for Debate Blog. Clay Shirky, a professor from NYU, points out that privacy existed in the past because it [...]
I wrote the “Googling Yourself” article to make the point that expecting to be anonymous online is not realistic. Most people don’t like hearing that their online life is fair game for the public, but I argue they should never have expected otherwise. The question isn’t whether our online lives are under siege by nosy [...]
I received an email today from one of my good friends asking for input on a “google question.” The issue was with a recent graduate concerned about the search results returned when googling her name. Apparently, despite her best efforts, the top results were less than helpful to her job search.
I was ready to respond [...]

I was recently invited to speak at a meeting of Syracuse University's Council on University Communication. The group consists of Syracuse's communications, marketing and public relations professionals who meet to share and discuss new ideas and strategies. I was asked to introduce the topic of social media marketing. As is often true, my presentation sparked [...]

In 1999, I was a Syracuse University sophomore majoring in History/Education. One day, after I’d been complaining about a history course that I found particularly tedious, a good friend started telling me about his major – Information Management and Technology – at the School of Information Studies. Knowing that I was at least as interested [...]

Also, check out the Whitehouse blog. (I should point out, the WH blog [...]

I’m a new twitter user. The main reason I started using the service was for my Social Media class. At first, I wasn’t sure there was much value, but the fact that Twitter was a phenomenon meant it was worth looking at in class. I assigned (forced) my students to join and told them they [...]
