Social Media and Ethics...

An interesting lead to follow, research-wise!

Social Media Today has posted a Big Brother-Social Media link which, though not remotely academic or even particularly well expressed, pinpoints my growing dissatisfaction with the obscured underbelly of social media - cynical, targeted marketing techniques masquerading as creative self-expression and community building.

Article for my reference...
