Walking the talk

Okay, people. It’s taken four years, but I’m finally getting some work done at the office that relates to my online obsessions.
A friend of a friend of a friend … a flash presentation about social networks and privacy.
Before you complain: yes, it should have an embed link. It should be available on a sharing app. It should have links to sharing sites.
We’re the government. We’re working on it.
UPDATE: And … we did it.

Hey Colin- nice presentation!
It reminds me of “Does What happen in Facebook stay in Facebook”- but of course much broader and less dime store scary.
You can embed this with Vopod -http://vodpod.com/
oh and that Facebook video is here: http://katiechatfield.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/311/
Nice, very nice. The presentation itself is pretty good, but the fact that the government is creating this kind of stuff and putting it on a blog is astounding. Kudos! Keep pushing this stuff forward!
Hi Katie.
Yes, I had seen that Facebook presentation. Thanks.
That’s a good characterization - “dime store scary” - that’s the problem we had with that last part of the presentation. The links may have been true, but they appear exaggerated for effect.
This is impressive. Where else is the video being promoted?
Not very many place. There’s a prominent link off our website at privcom.gc.ca, there’s a post at blog.privcom.gc.ca, it’s on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/PrivacyComm and it’s here.
Oh - and my Facebook profile.
We’re just launching softly.

Privacy …
Hyves is hip, schreef een ex-Hyver kritiekloos in de Volkskrant, en alle andere social networks zijn ook ‘fun’. Heb je echter wel eens goed nagedacht over jouw privacy? Ieder klein detail dat je immers op zo’n community achterlaat, verdwijnt in…
[...] I was having a little email chat with Colin McKay yesterday (about privacy online of course!) and realized I hadn’t blogged about the recent video the Canadian government released called "A friend of a friend of a friend", although its an issue that is close to my heart (and one that a few of my tech buddies have been trying to hammer into me for a while now) — how much information you share online and with whom. It’s a short piece, and one that should be more widely distributed because it is so important. Kudos to Colin and the team at the Privacy Commissioners Office for taking the lead in this. [...]
