Webliography: Facebook and Privacy Issues, A Selection of Articles After the "F8" Conference Announcements

On April 21, 2010 at their F8 Conference Facebook made several announcements about new services and the underlying technology. Since then Facebook has been generating a very large amount of news about these new services and privacy.

What follows is a selective webliography that begins with the announcements and ends on April 30, 2010. By no means is this selection of articles comprehensive of all the material available. For every item we included, we could have added many more. Our goal was to focus on questions that are being asked along with some background about how it all works while not making this webliography grow out of control.

As more material is published (and it will be), we hope to add some of it to this collection. Also, when we come across something that we should have included in this version, that we missed, we'll add it.
