Within the New Media Wiki, I have signed up as a contributor and editor of "New Media and Privacy Issues." I have added some interesting information while I was doing research for my term project. Finding that this source of information is both beneficial to enhancing my presentation and the wiki, I added it up without hesitating. The source of information is regarding privacy and confidentiality issues in new media, which is more prominent in social networking sites. What I added is a case that discusses and explores how information revelation in social networking profiles is not considered as defamation or invasion of privacy if spread since it is already revealed by the user on his or her profile. In the case, the plaintiff did not win the case because of the court-ruling. I made sure to add the source of the article so that anyone who is interested in reading it can access it. Also, I added some useful photographs into the web page to better illustrate how privacy and information revelation can exist together in some form of glasshouse (where one can feel at the borders of his/her home and at the same time being seen by others). It has been very advantageous for me to have contributed to this page because not only has it given me the opportunity to actually contribute to a wiki but also it has helped me with my term project for the semester and has helped me learn of various fun facts. I also edited some parts of the web page because there were various grammatical errors and I made sure I didn't erase whatever has been written on that page section so no information could be deleted, and whoever it is who contributed could go back and build up that section.
