Which may come as a bit of a shock to some of my readers, as I’ve been vocal in the past about how much I don’t wish to be a part of Facebook, MySpace, Bebo et al. It wasn’t as much of a shock as it was to me, though – I didn’t have a say in it!
I got an email today saying I’d been added as a friend by someone I know who works for the LEA (Local Education Authority) on an education-based social networking site That Shall Not Be Named. It would seem that I have an account there already, and this appears to be due to the fact that all linked LEA-provided resources such as this share a common sign-on.
Of course, my profile is blank, aside from my name (which is incorrect anyway), which is just as well as the privacy settings don’t “stick”.
