All three members met during class on October 15th to further discuss the White Paper, for a half an hour.  We went on a MySpace account to look at what the privacy settings are on the current MySpace.  We took note of a few things that we could present to the MySpace Company in order to make a 'kid friendly' MySpace.  We also researched Dateline "How to Catch a MySpace Predator" for research that we could use in our White Paper and also for a visual aid in our presentation.   We came up with the three proposals that we want to give to MySpace and assigned each member something to research.  We will be meeting Sun. October 19 to review what we researched and compose our draft White Paper.

Our group met at the Hick's Library on October 7th at 7PM to discuss our memo.  All three group members came to work on our project.  We presented the material that we researched since the last meeting to each other and worked together to figure out what we thought was important enough to be in our White Paper.  We came up with the headings that we wanted to use in the memo and discussed why we wanted it in our White Paper Project. We spent about an hour and half reviewing our research and composing our memo for class.

The new facebook will not allow a user to show all their information or applications on one page.  Instead of just going to one webpage a user has to click on many different tabs to see their friend's information. Also, if you want to check your wall for new wall posts it is more difficult since the user will have to scroll through all the activities that they have done on the new facebook along with all of your friend's wall posts that they have left for you to read.  The old facebook did not show everything that you did on facebook on your wall, so it was easy to check your wall for new messages.
