Whatever information you search for and share with your Facebook friends or Twitter followers , 'your "audience" is bigger than you know'.

'Your every online move leaves cyber footprints that are rapidly becoming fodder for research without you ever realising.'

'Using social media for academic research is accelerating and raising ethical concerns along the way, as vast amounts of information' is collected by private companies.

'Facebook and Twitter are giving insight into all aspects of everyday life.'

'Be aware it is a space that is watched' - Social Psychologist Iika Gleibs
