FACEBOOK SUSPENDS PARTICIPATION IN GOOGLE’S FRIEND CONNECT
2008-05-15 21:13:00 This post was updated at 3:17 PM with comment from Google's David Glazer. A post Thursday on Facebook's developer blog explains that the social network has suspended participation in Google's "Friend Connect" project, citing a violation of its internal terms of service. "Now that Google has launched Friend Connect, we've had a chance to evaluate the technology," the post by Facebook employee Charlie Cheever read. "We've found that it redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users' knowledge, which doesn't respect the privacy standards our users have come to expect and is a violation of our Terms of Service." In other words, while Facebook users would manually opt in to Friend Connect, they would not have control over the third-party sites that would then use Friend Connect through Google's API. "Our terms of service, for privacy reasons, have always forbidden redistribution of other Facebook information that an application takes," Facebook...

Girls’ participation in sports not active enough, despite record high
2008-04-14 16:12:00 A report released by the University of Minnesota has revealed that though the number of girls participating in sports have hit a record high, still there are certain barriers that prevent them from taking part in activities outside the organised sports, as they move from childhood into adolescence. The researchers reviewed the most recent research related to physical, psychological, social and cultural benefits that girls derive from participation in sport and physical activity and the barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential. “The research within the report confirms that many good things are happening when it comes to girls and physical activity,” said Nicole LaVoi, researcher and associate director of the Tucker Center and a report author. “Girls are participating in organized sports more than ever and at all levels -- from organized youth sports, to interscholastic sports and up through Olympic competition,” she a...

New Media and Your Participation in the Political Process
2008-02-20 14:00:00 First of all, I would like to thank the Palmetto Scoop for allowing me the opportunity to submit my very own ?TPS? Report. It is an honor to serve you as Speaker in the S.C.

2008-02-05 23:50:00 U.K. Scandal Raises the Phone Bar in the U.S. By Levi Shapiro Meet rockstar wannabe Betsy Gallagher. The 42-year-old mother of two and school board member has another title: American Idol voter. "I let the kids send in one text... then I vote twice," she said. Participation TV (P-TV), in the form of voting and sweepstakes, has now reached the mainstream. The challenge is to maintain the trust of people like Gallagher in a changing business environment. According to Nielsen, 180 million Americans send SMS text messages, an increase of 41 percent this year. And text voters are more like Gallagher than her 12-year-old son. Although teenagers may be pounding "OMG" and "TTYL" to one another on Instant Messenger, it is females aged 25-44 who are most likely to vote via text. "Idol changed everything," said Jason George, chairman of Telescope, which handles all the back-end text voting for Idol.

2008-01-09 20:09:00 a "How To" article by Christine Smith We must communicate with- everyone we can in every opportunity we have to share Dr. Paul's message and emphasize his widespread support. Only we share the true message - rarely the mainstream media. Talk to those you know, and those you don't. Every favorable mention of Dr. Paul is one more for someone else to hear because of you. I've never seen so much enthusiastic grassroots campaigning/canvassing going on.

Radio talk shows are one of the most popular forms of media in the nation. From the local city talk shows to the big 50,000-watt stations reaching dozens of states simultaneously - all offer a wonderful opportunity to share your support for Ron Paul with many others.
