ask   about   

A user, not a guru. I check in to everything. I don't have a niche (except maybe my #drunktweets). I like these things and creating open and powerful ways to share. Oh, and gin. Content coordinator at HootSuite, so these words are mine. I'm just a girl, standing in front of the internet, asking it to love her. @taylorloren.

"In our Web 3.0 world, as we share our identities so publicly with everyone else, standing out from the crowd, raising one’s voice against collective conventionality, is becoming increasingly difficult."

Does society benefit when we share personal information online? Or do social networks prompt us to publish unhealthy amounts of personal data, while little enriching our lives? Author Andrew Keen and journalism professor Jeff Jarvis lead the arguments in our debate.

OMFG this is seriously so awesome. An Oxford-style online “live” debate over sharing. 

Is Mr Zuckerberg right to argue that Facebook is as valuable for the openness it engenders as for the wealth it creates? Or does his enterprise (and others like it) encourage us to publish unhealthy amounts of personal data for commercial reasons—while doing little to enrich our lives?
