To tell them to take this off Facebook

[justinhawkinsnavalfluff]

My DS is in primary school. One of the mums has set up a Facebook page so parents can share information. I have no problem with this, in fact I think this is really good idea. However the mum who set it up has posted a picture of all of the children on the page without seeking any parents permission. I am furious - is it really that much to expect someone I don't know v well to check they have permission to post a picture of my DS for the world to see!?!?

We have a school parents group on FB which is "secret" and only visible to people in the group (although TBH, there are no photos on it anyway).

No, Quint that's every user I know. Almost no one I know uses actual Twitter any more. And even if they do, they can search easily enough.

In any event, I can see it being used for broadcasting. But not for confidential stuff which is what the poster who said they switched to it seemed to imply they were using it for.

Birdsgottafly We had a Governers meeting today and it was combined with other parent involvement groups (SN school under special measures). It has been decided to go over to Twitter, instead of FB.

[confused} You are aware that Twitter is completely open and public, aren't you?! You'd be a lot safer on FB with a completely locked down group with high privacy settings.

My experience of Twitter is that Tweets just disappear into massive amounts of other tweets and drown.

Nope, anyone can do a search on random words by using a hashtag. Tweets would come up in seconds even if they were made over a week ago or whatever.

Dolly, I also said this further down: "
There is no privacy on Twitter at all? Anybody doing a harsh tag or any other search relating to your school will then see everything.
The idea of twitter is like you are standing in the market square shouting."

My other comment was related to drowning in the stream of tweets, so important tweets could be easily missed? If not using tweet decks, etc.

I dont use twitter a lot, I find it quite pointless.

Just get her to change group settings. No big drama.
