Thanks for your comment. Private groups within existing networks can offer you the ability to control access - yes. For example, you can create a professional group on LinkedIn, and choose to make it publically visible, so that others in your industry can find the group, but require membership requests be approved by an administrator. Alternatively you can make the group 100% private and allow members to join by invite only.But whether you create a group in an existing social network, or create a brand new social network of your own, remember that the group is only as private as the users who are members. Ultimately the members dictate the level of privacy as much as the infrastructure does. So, whether you're running a group on an established network, or creating your own platform, always exercise the same level of caution with regard to the information you put out there.Here's a recent post that was inspired by these social networking privacy concerns: http://r3r.com/blog/2009/05/04/internet-marketing-is-like-crossing-the-street-look-both-ways-first/ Hi, Richard.

But whether you create a group in an existing social network, or create a brand new social network of your own, remember that the group is only as private as the users who are members. Ultimately the members dictate the level of privacy as much as the infrastructure does. So, whether you’re running a group on an established network, or creating your own platform, always exercise the same level of caution with regard to the information you put out there.

The notion of setting up anything online now seems so easy, but execution and management are a whole different ball game. Thank you for making that so clear. I like the idea of creating a group within an existing network. Can you control access though? Thanks Richard Another great post Jeremy.
