Chatting with Friends
Facebook Chat is a form of instant messagingAs long as you are chatting with a single Facebook friend, your conversation is private (
unlike posting a message to a friend’s Wall, for example).You may privately chat with several people, individually, but at the same time through separate chat boxes.You may also set up a Group Chat involving several people in the same conversation (see Groups later)Let’s look at Chat on a live screen…Slide40

What Are Facebook Groups?
Groups provide a closed space for small groups of people to communicate about shared interests. Groups can be created by anyone.
Privacy: In addition to an “open” setting, more privacy settings are available for groups. In “secret” and “closed” groups, posts are only visible to group members.
Audience:
Group members must be approved or added by other members.
The
most useful groups tend to be the ones you create with small groups of people you know
. A Family group is a good example.Communication:
In groups, members receive notifications by default when any member posts in the group. Group members can participate in chats, upload photos to shared albums, collaborate on group docs, and invite all members to group events.Slide42

A Postscript on Digital Privacy
The question of privacy vs. “publicness” is a hotly debated one, laced with philosophical and political
content. Proponents of strong publicness argue that the benefits of information-sharing outweigh the risks of disclosure. The example often given on this side of the argument is that of digital patient records in the medical field. Here, patients choose who to share their records with (various healthcare providers, social workers, family, lawyers, etc.) and those records then form a shared database that follows the patient wherever he or she goes, and allows instant access to crucial information at any time and in any place.
People
arguing the opposite side of the privacy question tend to stress the potential loss of individualism – the loss of our ability to have private lives or at least private components of our lives. They also argue that, while we may think we have choices about what we reveal online, we may not always understand the potential future ramifications of those revelations or the extent to which they might propagate.
Two people currently arguing these positions publically (through books, blogs and interviews) are Jeff Jarvis and Andrew Keen. See
http://www.mediabistro.com/digitalprivacyforum/speakers.asp
. Jarvis argues for the value of “
publicness
,” which is a term he coined. He is a journalism lecturer at the City University of New York and author of “Public Parts.” He uses the example of the public revelation of his prostate cancer and the benefits he gained from that. Keen, on the other hand, is a broadcaster, writer, and entrepreneur, and author of “Digital Vertigo, an
Anti-social
Manifesto” who feels that privacy is more important than
publicness
and that we shouldn’t be seduced by the idea that we ought to live our lives in public.
