1. Who owns your tweets? If you tweet for your company, or even just relate your tweeting to your job, you could find yourself in a debate about who owns your followers and possibly even your content. Some high profile law suits are yet to determine whether the company or the tweeter owns the followers, or even whether you can "own" followers, but if a network has a financial value to a company they will try their hardest to protect it.
2. Streaming and downloading content - Netflix or Lovefilm? Should you pay for content? A lot of TV shows and films are uploaded to sites for free, but these sites can be carrying content illegally. Gone are the days when you had 1 TV, a license and a sofa. The growth in choice of media on which to view and the growth in choice of providers mean viewers are now faced with dilemmas over how to watch.
3. Should you commit Facebook suicide? There's a strange mixture of user behaviour regarding privacy - some seem to accept that letting online giants have access to your data is a part of life, and so what if they know what your IP address has been up to? Others feel that Facebook (and Google, for that matter) shouldn't be so free to make money from our personal information. Other users just worry about the ability of others to deface our online profiles while we're offline - "super log off" appeared during over the last year or so and could grow. Teenagers who don't want to allow others to abuse them on their wall or tag them in pictures delete their account instead of logging off. Facebook saves all your data so you can reinstate your profile when you want to log back on, but in between you were invisible and protected from the activities of others.
4. Can you trust a site to handle your credit card or bank account details safely? With some high profiling gaming providers falling victim to hacking and ecommerce sites springing up seemingly overnight, how happy are you to submit your financial details to a site? How we pay for things is becoming a big issue for 2012, safe online shopping, a key part of this. Contactless technology, electronic money vouchers and secure payment methods will all transform how we hand over our hard earned cash, to hopefully make us more secure and in control of our transactions.
5. Should you use Google+? No-one yet knows the answer to this question.
