There are information literacy issues and we need to educate children and students on how to make best use of these new, collaborative technologies (Boulos, 2006). We will need to educate young people more deeply about privacy, trust and the social Web. Those who participate often don’t seem to appreciate that the reach of the network means that their profile could potentially be viewed by millions of people and that there could be long-term implications to this (George, 2006). As one example, in autumn 2006, the University of California required students to attend classes in social networking. What are the challenges and issues with regard to user identity on the network
