Facebooking 129: Social Networking Sites

People of all ages are increasingly active in social networking sites - from tagging photos in Facebook to sharing music in Myspace to posting videos on Youtube. We will explore how social networking is impacting our notions of privacy, identity and relationships.

This seminar is tentatively scheduled to meet during First Session on TR from 3:40 pm - 4:55 pm.

Note: Please check the official timetable for the most up-to-date information about meeting times and locations and availability.
