Some of the researchers you're reading about (or going to read about!) have some new research on Facebook and impression management in a recent NY Times article.
What do you think about it?

Collecting Data from Facebook
This recent article in the NY Times discusses how academic researchers are studying behavior on Facebook.
What do you think of this article? Is it fair for people to be studied when they don't know it? How does this differ from the APA Ethics code for observing people in their day-to-day environments? How can we balance what we learn from the risks we take? (You may need to look up the APA ethics code to answer some of these questions!)
You may need to register for the NY Times the first time you read an article. I recommend that you do because 1) it's free and 2) we're going to be using them as a source quite a bit throughout the semester.

Site Meter
I've added Site Meter to the bottom of our blog so we can see how many people find us and hit this blog looking for other info. I think it will be a good way to decide whether we should go private or not!

Welcome to the Class Blog!
Welcome to our class blog! We'll all be posting thoughts and links to topics about the topics we're covering in class.
In addition, we'll be talking about our experiences of reading and posting to the blog and how we see the discussions developing on this blog...or not! :-)
One of our first decisions will be to decide whether this is a public blog or not!
I think this is going to be a really fun semester!
