Re: Facebook question

Interesting thread, please keep this open.

I am curious what the standard of 'security' is.

There are a number of interesting questions here - seems to me that if the
goal is to nurture 'connectivism' and promote connected learning, there must
be some tolerance for a certain amount of risk. I am curious where people
fall on this.

Cheers
