Facebook Denies ‘Smear’ Campaign Against Google
“The competition between the Internet’s biggest rivals is turning bitter” There are reports that state that Face book is allegedly paying a third party company to write negative reports about goggle. “After news reports earlier this week that the public relations firm Burson-Marsteller was pushing reporters to write negative stories about Google and alleged privacy violations, The Daily Beast reported Thursday that Face book was the mystery client behind what it called a “clumsy smear” campaign.”
This is a show of the war of the social media. These allegations can potentially affect the uses of these websites as well advertisers on these websites.

Facebook new Terms of service
This article discusses the new terms and services of face book. Face book terms of services has changed in February 2009. It used to allow users who close their accounts that all contents that was uploaded will expire, however since the change face book has the right to use any that was uploaded on face book. “…anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later.”
This just goes to show that what you put out their on the web it stays there. So people who have face book, twitter, and blogs should me mindful of what is put out there on the world wide web because if you delete your account your information will not be out their forever.
This article discusses the extensive use of Social media by children under the age o 13. Face book terms of use stated that users have to be 13 and older to have an account on face book. This article stated that 7.5 millions children under the age of 13 have face book accounts and another 5 million children under the age of 10 have face book accounts. The most concerning thing about this is where are the parents of these young children and why are they allowed to have face book pages.
Another thing that the article stated was that their is a correlation between teen drinking and face book use. I don’t agree with this point I don’t think face book causes or facilities under age drinking.
The article also discusses that more and more companies are banning the access of face book and twitter from their computers. My job does not allow employees to access face book or twitter. However many employees use other ways to access face book and twitter. They go other websites that allow them to access face book and twitter.
