The article:"Will facebook replace company Web sites?" touches a lot of concepts about which we have talked about in class. Some of which are; the walled garden, the publics, business models, privacy, etc.
I really see Goggin's concept of the publics used to their advantage by facebook. At the end of the article Haines is quoted stating what he knows about the public that consumes facebook.
AND directly related to the article and to the copyright issue, Sony has launched "The Priest in 3D Trailer Challenge."
The way to enter the contest is by going to the SONY facebook page, not the official SONY web site.
This is an interesting way of advertising and sort of promoting a distorted usage of the commons. SONY is letting anyone on facebook have access to parts of their content for free even before the release, encouraging equal opportunity for creativity but they are getting so much information (you have to register to participate), and free labor out of it.
