Web 2.0, community, and confidentiality
I agree with that... I have my phone number public on Facebook for exemple. However, my email adress is always private.

The debate started last week through a grad's student's blog: MySpace and Facebook don't have the same cultures or the same users, according to that blogger's research.
BusinessWeek re-opens the debate today with this article: http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/jul2007/id2007072_502208.htm
I would like to have people's views on that. Do you think Facebook and MySpace are direct competitors?? Personnally, I think not. Like the BW article says, Facebook tends to build a network on existing relatonships. It's like a customizable start page on which you show your personality through the adding of content and applications, but you remain yourself, real name, occupation, age, no funny business. MySpace gives users the opportunity to play a role... to create a personnality from scratch, and to make connections with people with resembling interests and personalities, however fictional.
Any thoughts?
