I know that there have been times on my personal account that someone has been able to see my personal information even when they aren’t my friends on Facebook. In the past, I have felt like my personal information was not being protected at all, I tried writing to Facebook telling them my concerns and how I don’t feel protected. I have also gone as far as deleting my Facebook for a period of time to make sure that my personal information is not looked at. When it comes to social networking sites, you can’t expect everything to be private; it is online, but when a website says that everything is protected and private, it disappoints me when I could go onto my profile and see that even if it is set on private that other people can read my email address, phone number, see my pictures, etc. Privacy is everything and with people out there who could stalk you over a networking site, that really bothers me.

To satisfy the customer, Zappos never outsourced their call center, which means they do not work from a script. Their telemarketers often suggest customers to order more than one size, because they have free shipping in both directions. They even recommend competitor’s shop when they do not have a product that the customer wants. Zappos also uses a computer system called ‘Genghis’ so that the customers do not have to waste much time.

There have been cases where teens meet people over the internet and have an online relationship, but when they end up meeting it isn’t exactly who they thought it would be. Many males and females meet their online lover and come to find out that their lover is a rapist or kidnapper and things don’t quite workout for that individual. Another reason why online dating is a negative is that you have no visual communication. An individual can be any person they want to portray over the internet because the person on the other side of the screen will never see them; they will only know the person who’s made up because there is no visual communication. Having face to face communication is also good for one’s health.
The weakness is that aside from the platform, which Brightcove executives admit a team of bright engineers could replicate or probably even improve upon in several months of work, Brightcove itself do not possess anything of value to any of the 4 parties. The benefits are all network effects. As opposed to a company like MTV (that had rolled its own online video solution) that owned its own library of content, Brightcove has to start from scratch, sell potential network members on the idea and the vision, and hope that they will be able to build all 4 sides of the network at once. 2.
