  • (from Question tool): With Facebook opening up to anyone (instead of being closed to certain (i.e. educational) networks), what are you doing to avoid/mitigate some of the privacy and security issues that have been encountered on MySpace?
  • (from Question tool): Is facebook's commercial strengths/strategy lying more in providing the best features/development platform to attract users or aggregating/analyzing the most information about users for better advertising monetization?

OA vs. TA

It seems that the major argument against broader OA is that it would have a negative financial impact on TA publishers (and that in turn this would be bad for academia, reduce peer-review, etc.). While this seems to be primarily an economic question there doesn't seem to be much in the materials on this question in particular aside from a passing reference to the physics community. Does anyone have any evidence on this question, anecdotal or other? Kp 13:26, 14 January 2008 (EST)
