When I went through all three articles I was really concerned with the identity protection that I never gave prior importance. Dan Yoder negative thought towards face book drag my attention whether face book is really scoundrel? But later I came to a conclusion that it is informative to me. Face book is a social media that I can make contacts and have their information but the it should be secured. Being an international student it is an easy means of communication to my family as I could uploads my photographs and post my updates. Furthermore I was surprised with some unethical issues on face book by the CEO because I had some matter with identity theft and lots of companies are sending me different stuffs to my address providing my social security number too. I found compare and contrast between Dan Yoder and David Lee King’s article as both of them are focused on the security issues. I feel Dan Yoder trying to illustrate twitter is an option for face book but my experience is not similar to him because twitter is not familiar to everyone in my family as face book do. Ryan Single’s idea of controlling the face book using simple software is admirable but for free competition and quality maintenance it is better to find new option for face book too. To continue my social networking I will still continue using face book account but will be more careful towards my identity protection. At mean time I will find some options for using face book if identity protection will be the serious issue in the future.
Thank you for your thorough posting on Facebook. I agree with you about continuing to use it, while being aware of identity protection and Facebook's constant privacy changes. It is the most useful site for social networking right now, but I do hope for a viable alternative one day.
