The Leveson inquiry into press standards couldn’t be credible if it didn’t begin to look into the implications of social networks upon the press and privacy landscape.
However Leveson has also admitted that he sees Facebook and Twitter as being distinctly different, “pub chatter” between friends. But is this really the case? And does leaving these networks out of any regulation undermine the whole process?

Facebook have more formally announced they’ll be phasing out the use of FBML for custom Facebook pages and switching to the use of iFrames and embedded Facebook apps. “Damn”, you may be thinking, “I only just worked out how to create a landing page with FBML”. Well, don’t be so downhearted; this change should give brands and sites a lot more freedom in what you can now do on your Facebook pages. You’ll need to make an ‘app’, which sounds daunting but is relatively straightforward with the these 8 steps.
Facebook have announced the switchover to a new appearance for company/business pages today – you can access the new layout and functionality in preview now, with full switchover happening on 10 March. It’s certainly a welcome change, offering additional functionality that advertisers and companies have been screaming out for, including the ability to ‘become’ a business page.
