[Air-L] FB, research ethics, and privacy

[Stuart Shulman]

We are about 3 days away from the launch of a tool that will let you log in
with your Facebook account and select from available available Facebook
feeds (ex., groups, fan pages, etc) for research purposes. This will be very
good stuff, but not limited to the Facebook streams. Twitter feeds, blog
posts and comments, and RSS feeds of all types.

Mark your calendars: November 1, 2010 will be the launch of DiscoverText.
