Privacy on Social Media

The Data Use Policy for Facebook goes over all the information that you a user gives when they sign up and the information that Facebook receives from you while you're using the site for example, Facebook receives data whenever a user visits a game, application, or website with a Facebook feature. The good thing about Facebook is for the most part, the users control how much information is publicly displayed and what they want to display for which people. You can pretty much customize you page to be as pubic or as private as you'd like. The Data Use Policy goes over how they use the information they collect to protect Facebook and other user's rights, to make suggestions based on things you like or people you may know, and also for troubleshooting and data analysis on the website's features.

I tried to find information in Facebook's policies regarding a security breach but either they don't mention it, which I find hard to believe, or I just couldn't find it. Instead I went to the terms for Instagram and their policy states that when you join Instagram you acknowledge that your information may not be secure and that you understand the internet may or may not have breaches of security. Instagram also has a Limitation of Liability section which explains Instagram will not be liable for any damage caused by a security breach.

Wikis in Business

Sony is a large audio, video, and electronics company who uses wikis in their business. Sony has a robust wiki known as SonyPedia which allows employees to collaborate and exchange information. SonyPedia is an online forum which is bringing employees together by allowing them to post and interact in one place  and it's also controlled by them. SonyPedia is a great tool that encourages employees to connect and share ideas.

Hello!

Hello! I'm Amber Sapp and this is the first entry of my blog. I'm 29 years old and I live in St Pete with my husband (Billy), three cats (Pepper, Lunchbox, and Squeaks), rabbit (Jelly), and dog (Tater Tot). Monday 27-Oct is Billy and my seven year wedding anniversary. We met at BIC Graphic where I've worked since 2005; however, he left in 2006 to pursue a career in Law Enforcement. I currently am a buyer in Supply Chain where I spend my day purchasing pens :). Aside from work, I'm going to school half time at SPC where I'm almost finished with my AS in Technology Management. 

Three of my most visited websites would be Facebook where I don't post often but I enjoy reading posts made my family and friends. I like listening to podcasts a lot and two of my favorite sites for those is thisamericanlife.org and serialpodcast.org.


...and now for a photo introduction!
