Talk:Fall 08 - T05 - G1

Hey guys, we can use this page to talk about changes to the project. Ask questions here.

Hey Usman, I was just doing some research and also looking at the marking guide lines for this project and it I found a lot of useful information.

We need to unify this thing into one category: the security of information on the SOCIAL web. This information may belong to individuals, groups of people, or entire businesses or corporations (like movie production studios). The social part is emphasised to include both video sharing and networking websites.

Here are some good examples of categories we can research:

I) Facebook and MySpace:

1. Ryerson University Facebook group and the information being shared on this group.

2. Employees looking at Facebook profiles before they hire.

3. Security glitches in Facebook which can expose user in-boxes to the public.

4. A lack of education about security settings and privacy features in Facebook.

5. The exploit of Facebook URL codes to access private pictures, this is like a minor hack.

II) YouTube and Veoh:

1. The corporate security breach of information in the form of videos or even music played on videos.

2. There are entire movies and TV shows being put up on Veoh for millions of users to watch, and this is a violation of the security of the content being shown.

3. Usman, you can look at the rest of this part.
