I just read a piece in New York magazine about the impact of students expressing animosity towards faculty on Facebook groups. (Horace Mann is the name of the private school.) Interestingly, both parents and students felt that faculty had invaded their privacy by going onto facebook to read what were pretty vicious attacks. I was surprised that the parents & students would think that something with the volume of traffic like facebook would be considered a "private diary." Since I am in my 30's I grew up in a cohort that finds placing personal content online uncomfortable, so this situation begs a lot of questions. Are some parts of your online identity private, some public? While you can limit access to your personal profiles on many sites, is it really safe to assume that it is "private"? Compounding the situation at this school was a work of fiction written the previous year by a faculty member; it portrayed the antics at a fictitious private school. Students were confused by the fact that faculty could write such a book, but that they were criticized/reprimanded for their antics on facebook (the facebook page did name names of faculty students were targeting.). Will an "identity" or "right to privacy" protocol ever be developed? Is it necessary? While these kids and parents are upset with their school, what happens to them when they try to get a job?

It's a funny coincidence of topics, as just yesterday I joined in a Citizen Garden podcast (hosted by Larry Halff and Chris Messina) along with Cindy Li to talk about online identity. Almost all of the issues you highlight here are ones we touched on in the conversation. We didn't solve much in the 20-odd minutes of chit-chat :) I'm looking forward to reading what you guys come up with. Congrats on the blog launch!
