    I arrived tonight in Nashville at eight o’clock. The trip was the best one so far, it was an overall flat drive there besides going through the Ozark Mountains. I just got here and I already love it, you could hear the music playing as soon as you entered the town. I checked into the Clarion Hotel, in Downtown Nashville. I went out after I was settled in, there was an open mic night at the Nashville Symphony. Almost everybody that got up on the stage had a very southern accent, and all of the music was very country. It was an extreme difference from what I normally listen to back in Minnesota. The concert was so fun I forgot about the time and before I knew it it was already three in the morning. When I fell asleep in the hotel, I didn’t wake…

    Facebook Privacy

    Nowadays, users of online social networking communities are disclosing large amounts of personal information, putting themselves at a variety of risks. Social networking site, such as Facebook, one of the foremost social networking websites, with over 9.4 million users spanning over 2,000 college campuses, is considered for many people as a second home. College students are primary users of Facebook and are most likely to be effected and jeopardized by serious flaws in this system. Students tend to join Facebook as soon as possible, usually putting real time and effort into creating their profiles. However, in many cases students are unaware of the complex interactions between university policy and the information they are making available online. Administrators are using Facebook to learn about their students and their activities, therefore students must be especially aware of the risks that come with signing up for Facebook account. Privacy on Facebook is undermined by three principal factors:  users disclose to much  Facebook does not take adequate steps to protect user privacy  third parties are actively seeking out someone's information using Facebook. We as Group C, conducted a research about Facebook privacy by using credible and trustworthy sources from online databases such as ProQuest and EBSCOhost. Additionally, we used recent newspaper articles from New York Time and scholarly journals such as Business Horizons and Internal Auditor to find information about low privacy protections in Facebook. By conducting Facebook research, we have found that university administrators or police officers may search the site for evidence of students breaking their school’s regulations. Users may submit their data without being aware that it may be shared with advertisers. Third parties may build a database of Facebook data to sell. Intruders may steal passwords, or entire databases. More than one in five employers search social networking sites to…

    Some Facebook users do not know or fail to make use of privacy settings, this will enable anyone to be able to see their Facebook profile and status updates. This leaves them much more vulnerable to online predators as they will expose their entire life to the world. They share too much private information like email address, name, age, education institutions or workplace to others which could cause problems. Loss of confidential data from their Facebook profiles may happen because Facebook collects information of the user and saved into a database which they sell to advertisers and give freely to government authorities without the user’s knowledge. Even if profile privacy is restricted, it is still very easy for other people to access their profiles. There is always the chance that a predator will find information and use it to cause harm. There are few things more annoying than knowing that your parents, relatives, lecturers or employers are constantly on "Facebook stalking" you, ask about every single piece of information you posted to your profile and also the pictures you were tagged…
