True, although now that data is shared with marketers!

Are you using it for instruction or for supporting student research? That’s what I’m curious about.

While I understand many of the fears people face with Timeline I think the best way to think about it is still the idea that nothing anyone posts online is ever truly gone. All of the posts and information Timeline will show is information that has been there all along, just harder to get to. All of the data has always been collected. The same precautions should be taken as before, though maybe with Timeline this idea is more clearly seen and will be more religiously followed?

As far as using Facebook for libraries: creating pages, rather than individual pages, means the library can still interact with students and faculty with a distance that protects individuals on either side from feeling invaded by people, rather than the format itself. As a moderator for a handful of Facebook pages I cannot see “fan” profiles unless I am also friends with the fan on my own profile as well, and vice versa.

Great tip, Young-Joo! I’ll suggest that to my students. They are sometimes inclined to write paragraphs rather than short, succinct sentences.

One tip for Xtranomal is to write a short sentence. That way, it sounds less machine-y.

Thanks for the tip, Ellen! I haven’t played with Zoho Creator much. Do you know how it compares to Google Forms?
