Text of the page (random words):
susant s weblog just another wordpress com weblog susant s weblog just another wordpress com weblog protect your feeds and occasionally google your username february 2 2008 some would say there s something narcissistic about googling your name however it s a good idea occasionally to see what appears on the first couple of pages of google results last week i had a nasty surprise when the first page of results from a google search for my jaiku username returned a link to a profile page on a dating site although i see nothing wrong with dating sites i should state that i am happily married and have never needed the services of the formentioned moreover my social networking is purely professional i do not carry out my personal life on the internet when i browse to the profile in question i note that although the profile picture username and feeds are mine the bio information is invented there is no way to sign in to the site in order to delete the profile further checks reveal that other jaiku and twitter members have also been victims of this bogus site it seems that a spanish company known for shady practice has been scraping rss feeds from jaiku and twitter by way of an application for google ig unfortunately neither twitter nor jaiku have announced this to their users in an attempt to prevent further hijacking of my information i have made my jaiku and twitter updates private and suggest others do the same tags jaiku privacy rss scam twitter posted in uncategorized 1 comment hello smieltworld january 14 2008 signed up for an online course on elt and social media this blog one of the assignments will be the hardest for me i m not a stranger to social media am a member of too many ning networks active in a couple use twitter and delicious regularly voice thread for a multitude of purposes and various other services and tools as the need arises but a blog that s a whole nother ball game it s not that i don t blog i do if you could call what i do blogging but it seems that blogging to order or rather as an assignment is not something i can easily put my mind to i m thinking if i paste the assignment here it may be easier for me to focus what have you noticed about the various platforms that you have opened accounts on what do they have in common how do they differ are these environments different from lms like blackboard webct moodle and others how what does social media mean for you which social media have you used already and what are your feelings about it maybe i ll start from the part of question 3 which i didn t yet answer in my opening paragraph what does social media mean for me what are my feelings about it social media is my chosen tool for learning my ple if you will not usually as part of a course but as a day to day activity social media has also become the staff room of my choice the place i go to meet colleagues and share events ideas thoughts questions plans recommendations projects etc etc slowly it is also becoming a place where i meet friends see familiar faces get to know new people however social media is a part of my professional life it is not a place where i usually carry out my personal life there is a little overlapping at the moment as my daughter and her friends decided to join facebook and befriend me this has added a new angle and i m not sure i like it but then i don t like fbook anyway social media is is also something that i am introducing my students to slowly it s not easy as most of the applications are a little difficult for the average israeli elementary student just signing up for a site and learning the interface is an exercise in efl participating in written online conversations in english is difficult for them we are using voicethread and ning and many of them use youtube regularly as a source of entertainment as to question 1 the various platforms are easy to sign up for adding content is quite simple and most of them provide some kind of comment and befriending system all the platforms are web based services some offer rss feeds possibly all i can t remember many offer widgets of different kinds to embed in other websites and blogs many of the platforms include ads of some kind differences obviously content type and privacy features some of the sites seem not to have any content moderation eg 43people most of these sites would be very difficult for my efl elementary school students to use and some of them are less than appropriate are these platforms different to lms systems while i haven t actually experience of an lms if i look at the words learning management system they hint at a place where my learning would be managed by whom i think that most of the lms systems are hosted on an institutions own servers i may be wrong however if true this would make setting up such a system more difficult it would however probably mean that the institution has more control over content and privacy of members and i m sure no ads
