Social Media Round Up

Mashable talks about Foursquare

Mashable touts Foursquare and other location based services to go mainstream this year. This popular location based social networking service, has a iPhone application that has caught fire as of late. 

Facebook posts about photos this week

The last two posts on the Facebook blog have dealt with photos. First, a new feature allows users to upload photos via email. Secondly, there were some rumors that Facebook was letting third party advertisers post your photos without your permission. They then wrote a lengthy post about how this is not true and explained how they only way they do use your photos is to let your friends know what pages you have fanned.

Foursquare sounds like it’s a step-up from Twitter because of the social gameplay involved, but do we really need another game to occupy our time with? Granted it can be fun, but could a backlash against games that are eating up our time drag Foursquare along with it?

At least they make the photo-use issue clear. But are there other issues about facebook that we should know?

“Harvard profs know how to make a big stink out of localized incidents. It doesn't quite help that Barack threw in his two cents either.”

This really stirred a lot of controversy. I guess President Obama learned a valuable lesson with this incident.

I can believe that. Facebook would not endanger its reputation as one of the premier social networking sites.

Features that would allow people to upload photos through email? This is real cool, don't you think so?

Although a fan of Facebook, sometimes I get wary of all the privacy issues that the site gets hit with every other week. This new thing about letting third-party applications use our pics is alarming. I mean, we can choose to allow these apps to access our profiles but use our photos? Didn’t Facebook state that our photos are only visible to the people in our network and even they cannot use our pics without our consent. RIGHT?
