What Your Facebook Profile Really Says About You!

Event Interactive 2011
Format Dual
Organizer Amanda Congdon Oxmour Entertainment Inc
Description Amanda Congdon and Dr. Sam Gosling sit down to discuss what we are really communicating when we post the details of our lives on Facebook. In a world where "snooping" on people's digital identities is becoming easier and easier, should we hold back or let it all hang out? What do our casual comments, updates and quotes relay to our friends, family, co-workers and potential employers? Also, do our Facebook pages represent the "real" us... or just the "us" we'd like to portray to society? Amanda and Sam discuss his latest Facebook research at the University of Texas-Austin and what implications his findings have on our lives in the digital age.  Attendees of this panel will have the opportunity to submit their Facebook profiles for scrutiny during the session. A question and answer period will follow where audience members can ask Sam specific questions about their own Facebook pages. Expect a lively and interactive session. What does your Facebook profile really say about you? Come find out... if you dare!
