In this edition of the Friday Flux: Debunking three lies about social software, a post I originally published November 19, 2006. This post looks at an article by JP Rangaswami, in which he debunks three lies about social software: that it causes groupthink, is full of inaccuracies, and that it destroys privacy. After summarizing his three "debunks", I offered some thoughts on how these lies about social software sometimes affect wiki use: "...this is the lie that stops most faculty from using the wiki. They mistakenly think that to use a wiki is to make all of one's work open to anyone else to edit, but once this point is clarified and they realize they can choose what is editable (i.e. group project, collaborative paper) and what is only readable (i.e. syllabus, course schedule) they become very willing to use the tool."
