The power of searching on the Internet can often be undervalued and indeed social networking sites sometimes suffer journalistic criticism. Facebook for example has suffered bad daily press thanks to Liz Jones of the daily mail. Mel Carson at Microsoft ran this by me and I have to concur with his findings. Liz Jones eluding to online safety, warning people to be cautious about sharing too many details on the net is somewhat strange coming from someone who runs a daily diary and has more dirty laundry to air than a nursing home suffering a diarrhoea epidemic.
Such spontaneous, ill -informed generalisations about Search, Privacy and Social Networking I hope will not be taken too seriously. Don’t get me wrong, I love journalism on the whole. The keyword I use here is “journalism”, not just waxing lyrically, at least research the topic. Private Eye recently quoted extracts from Liz Jones’s work, yet more examples of purely being outspoken.

She does actually make me feel slightly nauseous. Her “Dangers of Facebook” article sounds kind of like it was written by my mum. Nobody wants that.
