Research on user modeling based on social network information has
shown that some user characteristics can be accurately inferred from users?
digital traces. This kind of information can be used to inform user models of
adaptive systems for personalizing the system. This paper addresses a crucial
question for practical application of this approach: Are users actually willing to
provide their social Web profiles and how do they perceive this? An empirical
study conducted with medical students shows that although participants are
using social networks, they are reluctant about providing their identities and
consider these portals rather private. The outcomes of the study uncover a clear
need for further research on enhanced privacy and enhanced trust.
