Study Case

A Case Study: Facebook
He may be a Harvard dropout, but Mark Zuckerberg is now the main character in a Harvard Business School case. His company, Facebook, "had grown from just a few friends programming around a kitchen table to a full-fledged technology business with over 100 employees and 7.4 million users," says Harvard's summary of the case. "Zuckerberg would have to develop an organizational strategy that could allow the company to keep up with its underlying growth metrics, while ensuring Facebook's consumer experience was better than its alternatives." The case is available for anyone interested in combing through the issues, either on paper or electronically, for $6.50 a copy. (Hey, Harvard has to make a living, too.)

Cyber Wellness tips (:

1) Think twice before posting your photo- Photos can be used to identify you offline. They can also be edited or shared without your knowledge.

2) Choose a screen name that is different from your real name- Avoid using any personal information that would help someone identify or locate you offline.
3) Keep private information private– Never post information (such as full name, address, phone number) that could make you and your profile look vulnerable to identity thieves.

4) Don’t post information that makes you vulnerable to a physical attack- Revealing where you plan to meet your friends or your street address is almost an open invitation for someone to find you.

5) Trust your instincts- If you feel threatened or uncomfortable during an online interaction, don’t continue the dialogue. Report any offensive behavior to the social networking web site administrators.
