Facebook and Other Social Media Networks Found Sending Data to Advertisers

http://www.techtremor.com

If you’ve been following the Facebook scandals they sure seem to be racking up these past few weeks. All of which have really started to make me ponder whether or not to strip down my account to the minimum or delete the entire thing. Earlier today the Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook, Myspace, and other Social Media sites were sending data, specific user data, to the likes of Double Click, owned by Google, and Right Media, owned by Yahoo!. Alright now, truth be told, Google and Yahoo already know quite a bit about us, however, the fact is what the Social Media sites are doing is just down right wrong. The identifiable information can be traced right back to your own user account. This potentially gives advertisers the ability to find out your real name, age, contact details, and those pictures from last nights bar outing. Facebook was reported to be the worst of the bunch, going as far as sending your actual name to advertisers directly. MySpace, Hi5, Digg, Xanga and Live Journal said they only transmit user ID’s which are not as personally identifiable (ooook?) because they don’t require you to enter your real name.

A Little More Tongue

http://www.huffingtonpost.com

"Is it as important to learn Spanish in the United States as it is to learn English here in Argentina?"
Well, no.
But why shouldn't it be? Within the US, why isn't language given its fair share of attention and promotion, along with "core" subjects like science and math?
A Pew study projects that the American Latino population will comprise 20% of the entire US population by 2050. Although Spanish is the most commonly taught foreign language in secondary schools, and maintains a majority in college language classes, it isn't given the same level of importance as other subjects.

Jennifer Barsamian: The power of hello

http://www.dailynewstranscript.com

There are over 12 languages spoken at the Avery School, according to the last count done in the fall of 2009. A lot of Dedham’s students are going home and speaking another language and there is a lot of research out there that proves this is a good thing. According to the Center for Applied Linguistics, children raised bilingually are often more creative and better at problem solving. They have also proven to outperform kids that are raised with just one language in standardized tests. Bilingualism is something to celebrate. Learning a language opens up our worlds.Related Topics: spanish,lingolex spanish,spanish vocabulary,spanish grammar,spanish pronunciation,spanish verb conjugation,spanish estar,irregular verbs spanish,speak spanish,learn spanish,free spanish lessons,learn spanish games,learn conversational spanish,spanish translation Learn Spanish

Learning Spanish benefits Americans

http://www.collegian.psu.edu

The census influences where Congressional representation and federal money go. Generally, these go to where the people are. Should an education policy "go where the people are?" Should we teach schoolchildren to speak Spanish fluently?
In my mind, one goal of such a policy would be to ensure that, come 2050, we can all communicate with each other.
