Learning new terminology comes with the territory in the wonderful world of Information Management. Today, I have mostly been considering spoliation and its impact on information governance in the UK. Apart from the obviously naughty schoolboy nature of destroying documents that might feature in legal discovery at some point, there is a social media facet that business Facebookers would do well to take note of.
The recent addition to Facebook of timeline functionality prompted some pretty extreme concerns, and when considered in the context of social media being used in litigation, spoliation could be tempting but ultimately expensive. As with all things social media, the essential rule is still a very healthy dollop of common sense because someone's always watching. Your online life can lead to some wonderful places, but also to some very dark ones. Careful out there kids.
