The post Facebook, filtering, polarization, and a flawed study? Facebook researchers have published an article in Science, certainly one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed journals.

A while back I tweeted "Stop reading case study porn and get on with it". OK, maybe I am bit unfair with my dismissal of case studies but when I am asked if I know of companies who are doing really well with social tools I say "Less than you might expect, those who you know of were less successful than they claim, and why not become the one that really makes it work?". And if I thought that waving case studies at nay sayers was going to get me very far I might as well have given up.

Young adults, far from being indifferent about their digital footprints, are the most active online reputation managers in several dimensions.

Studying human behaviour can be like a dog trying to catch its own tail. Research on economics students showed this in action: textbooks describing facts and theories about human behaviour can affect the people studying them. One group who have been found to free ride more than others in repeated studies is people who have studied economics. Men have previously been found to be more self-interested in such tests, and more men study economics than women.
