Panic-book

Here's a great piece about the hysteria around facebook and social-networking sites. [Mark Vernon, The Guardian].

 "So, as long as people seek to live, not merely log-on, the panic over social networking sites would seem to be just that, a panic."

Update: Here's a link to a BBC article on the risks of being online.

And another one, about politicians and Facebook. [also from the Guardian, UK]. I do wonder how many of our MP's are online...

"Most MPs don't seem to want connectivity with their electorate, avoiding useful channels such as Facebook, or even email."
