Comments on: Have you met my data shadow? http://blog.highlandbusinessresearch.com/2008/02/08/have-you-met-my-data-shadow/ Travel industry thinking from Stephen Budd and Vicky Brock at Highland Business Research Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:06:34 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Vicky http://blog.highlandbusinessresearch.com/2008/02/08/have-you-met-my-data-shadow/comment-page-1/#comment-617 Vicky Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:26:36 +0000 http://blog.highlandbusinessresearch.com/2008/02/08/have-you-met-my-data-shadow/#comment-617 Interesting article and thought provoking, thanks Paul. To quote: Who owns this data and how it is used once you put it up there is another matter, says McGarr: “It’s very easy to set up an account and build up a collection of information but the terms and conditions claim ownership of everything that goes inside the walls. “What it means is that Facebook owns all your information and has a permanent licence which it can reuse or resell at will,” says McGarr, explaining that he used to re-publish his online diary, or blog, through Facebook until he began thinking about what this meant. “If Facebook is claiming ownership and it is usurping my copyright on my words, I’d prefer not to get into a row about that, so I took it down.” Also thought provoking for those of us (like me) wheo republish their blogs through Facebook and something I hadn't thought enough about before.
