As you probably know Facebook announced a sea change this week in the data stream privacy policy and the availability for 3rd parties to access it is just around the corner. That said juggling what is public and what is private on FB is going to be even more confusing. I suspect that there will be a lot more Privacy failures in the near future. I’ll be there for sure.

The whole Ray Lam incident was overblown and IMHO it was a generational issue as opposed to there being anything really "wrong" with his photos. Reading comments on articles about his resignation it was easy to see that the court of public opinion was divided very clearly along generational lines. People raised in a time without easy access to computers and no Internet were far more taken aback by the photos than were most people who have never really known a world without computers the Internet. By the time we get to the next election vetting candidates via their social media use will likely be the rule not the exception it is now. I'd also venture a guess that by the next election this type of situation will not register as more than a blip on the radar of the public and no one would be forced to resign over such innocuous pictures. I'm curious to know how "etiquette, rules and norms in a Web 2.0 world" are affected by those same generational divides. My guess would be that one would see a dramatic difference between those users who reached adulthood pre-Internet versus those who did post-Internet. Excellent topic to dive into!
