MAKING SENSE -- June 25, 2012 at 12:00 PM EDT

Is Google Scared? Submit Your Questions on the Future of Social Media

By: Paul Solman


On Friday's show, I interviewed Rory O'Connor, longtime video journalist, blogger and author of the new book, "Friends, Followers and the Future," about the power and perils of social networks. O'Connor has agreed to answer Making Sen$e questions. Consider this a request for them.

Making Sense

  • Is the semi-rally of Facebook's stock significant? (Though it's down 2 percent this morning as I write.)

  • How do we protect our privacy?

  • Is Google really scared?

Ask O'Connor anything and everything. As the author of "Shock Jocks," he can be relied upon to respond with no holds barred.

Leave your questions in the comments below.
