I recall a piece in the last month about the challenges of the 'social media specialist' and their sometimes spam-like activity on twitter and/or FB - and how you deal with them w/o causing difficulty. As you say, thought is needed. To throw in the development perspective, an etiquette or a practice of sane usage is going to be all the more important as more of these develop.

It was a call for Facebook users to develop a form of etiquette, so that I don't have to construct various defences. I too love getting in contact with people I knew 40 years ago, and I don't want to put hurdles in the way that would stop them getting in touch - but people I don't know, and with whom I have nothing in common, and with who knows what reasons for adding me to their list? The whole point of a working social network is not just those you let in, but those you keep out. Some form of self-organising social discipline is needed if we are all to get the most out of Facebook. You are now more than welcome to my Facebook. Best wishes Ian Hi Aaron

An educated user can always continue using applications using his/her common sense. However common sense is anything but common. We all use facebook no matter it has quite a few problems. We are just trying to show users the darker side of phenomena on the Internet. This helps them preparing themselves against bad things that can happen with them! @Aaron Not many think about what bad can happen with them using applications such as Facebook.

Facebook is incredible and has allowed me to reconnect w/ people I haven't heard from for 15 years. Sure, there are some silly annoying things there, but its very very simple to set up your account to block all of that out. if you are that annoyed w/ Facebook you need to learn how to use it properly. lol what a bitter bitter article.
