I can understand that Web 2.0 is the way forward for our future generations. But shouldn’t we allow only certain things to be posted to our website, or certain comments to be posted on our website?
Ulrich encourages us to take control of what we post online and who comments on it. Not all websites (including social network websites) have that "How to control what you say" if you like on their websites.
For example I have 2 You-tube accounts. 1 I have full access to and the other I don't. With my 1st original You-tube account (which has some of my professional work on), I had forgotten the password for it and tried to reset it using the correct email address that the account was linked up to. But the emails never came through and I couldn't reset my password any other way. I reported this to You-tube yet I haven't heard anything. This was now a year ago. I noticed from searching my You-tube channel that people have left comments (some genuine and some not so genuine) and I have several messages to read. How can I take control of this?? Without access to my account people could think anything of me.
Should we have access to all websites where we can comment and share things on other people's profiles? What if someone started being racist, sexist, or worse abusive and the website didn't have any power over it? There are very few websites who control this. I.E. Facebook. In fact Facebook is the only controlled social networking site I know of.
When Bruns talks about the Produsage of the things you write/post online, he mentions that you have the overall copyright to it all. I agree with him on some level as I know that on any website (aside from social networking websites) you own the copyright to what you have written provided it wasn't written by someone else (Plagiarism).
Do we have to be allowed to have our own privacy? Do we have to ask to keep for example a diary a secret? I know that the web is changing for the better (as some people do say), but what about your privacy?? A lot of the websites we use on a regular basis don’t allow us privacy. There are only a few websites that allow us to keep our personal diaries and blogs secure and private. Do we have to conform to what the creator of the website wants?
On Twitter for example I have no control over what people tweet about me. I can't delete what they say. I had this one tweet sent to me by a girl which had a link to a pornography website. The link looked like it was safe and secure and was a Tiny URL link (which most of the time proves to be ok to open). But with this one I was absolutely shocked. I cannot prevent this from happening on twitter. It's happened to me more than once. And we see proof of this on any celebrities Twitter account (as published in the newspapers about a month ago).
What does collective intelligence bring to the idea of professional networking and professional communications?
Collective intelligence brings a collaboration of thoughts on how we would professionally network and communicate with others in either the same profession or a vast range of professions on websites.
