Mark Zuckerberg’s letter to shareholders included in Facebook’s IPO filing contains a pretty bold vision for Facebook to not just connect people and enable them to share, but to fundamentally restructure the way that the world works:
By helping people form these connections, we hope to rewire the way people spread and consume information. We think the world’s information infrastructure should resemble the social graph — a network built from the bottom up or peer-to-peer, rather than the monolithic, [...]

The costs of preserving, searching and reviewing information in litigation can be staggering. What costs a dollar to store on a hard drive can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to search and review for a lawsuit. Ignoring or destroying salient information prior to or during a lawsuit can lead to losing a case regardless of the merits of the actual claim and spending a small fortune litigating the issue of whether you have met your [...]

Facebook’s mission is to “make the world more open and connected,” it says right at the top of the S-1 document filed late yesterday with the SEC. People use the site “to stay connected with their friends and family, to discover what is going on in the world around them, and to share and express what matters to them to the people they care about,” while developers use it to make apps, and advertisers use it to gain [...]

If Google’s going to keep tying all their services together, you may as well know how that will work, and how you can benefit from it.
In just over a month, Google will change its privacy policies for all its products. Actually, Google is combining 70 different policies into a single set of rules, defining how the company treats all the personal information you provide. It’s more of a refinement than a brash new move, but it has opened [...]

The FBI just announced plans to ramp up their social media monitoring, data mining, and analysis. The surprising thing is that they haven’t done so already.
The FBI wants to step up their monitoring of social media. Earlier this month the Bureau posted a Request for Information (RFI) from potential vendors for a powerful, custom-designed social media monitoring app. However, the most worrying thing isn’t that the FBI wants to scrape social media data from terrorists’ Twitter feeds, it’s [...]

It has become commonplace for parties engaged in electronic discovery to discuss and agree upon “keyword” searches in an effort to limit the overall scope of discovery. A recent decision in the District of New Jersey, I-Med Pharma, Inc. v. Biomatrix, Civ. No. 03-3677 (DRD), 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 141614 (D.N.J. 2011), demonstrates the pitfalls that arise when the parties too eagerly agree to conduct a search for electronically stored information using an overly broad set of keywords.
