I have been looking at all the possiblities with Mash-ups out there. WOW. I could get lost in all the information. I am now subscribing to the library 2.0 gang and I hope this monthly discussion can help me understand all the new applications coming out.
One Mashup I explored was Songza, http://www.songza.com/. I loved that once you found a song, the engine linked you to Youtube where you could watch the video as well.
I searched for the term privacy in the librarianblog searchroll. http://rollyo.com/search.html?q=privacy&sid=338806
the blog entries on this topic were quite varied as were the bloggers. I checked out the Annoyed Librarian, and the shifted librarian. I read this entry from the shifted librarian. http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/archives/2007/05/30/how_public_is_your_privacy.html
Through this course, I have been exploring new technologies, and I think my age and computer experience are shaping my views more than I realized. My younger colleagues are very comfortable putting up all kinds of images that I am not. However, this article is about the other side where the images are posted without the choice that accompanied such things as posted images in a facebook profile. And that is what is at the root of the invasion of privacy.
