Shhhh… Facebook is listeni– oh, HI, FACEBOOK!
10 May
Today on NPR’s All Tech Considered, we did a segment about Facebook and privacy, an issue we keep coming back to every few months because every few months Facebook is like, “Hey, we changed everything again. Deal with it.”
The blog post on NPR contains a lot more links to news stories and information if it’s a topic that gets your undergarment of choice in a wadded state. (The audio is embedded on the blog post, too.)
I’m not exactly sure what audio you’ll be hearing, though. We recorded the segment early in the afternoon and later we found out that something we said in the piece was wrong and I had to run back to the studio and re-record. I thought we were only subbing in one line but instead we did an entire re-over, so the piece I ended up hearing on the radio was more accurate, but was not as info-packed as the version we did earlier in the day. Such is life. Nothing’s ever perfect, especially when you’re on deadline.
And yes, I realize the irony of talking about Facebook privacy when I just added Facebook “Like” buttons to my entire personal Web site.
I know.
OK.
