« Transorbital Lobotomy | Main | World Summit on the Information Society » Social Networking 3.0?Since I've always thought that social network doesn't work as an end in itself, it's great to see heads turning in the direction of object-centered sociality, which is Jyri Engeström's term, it's good to see MIT Technology Review talking about Social Networking 3.0 as social networking that is "object-focused," i.e. "sites offering 'rich media' -- the big buzzword of 2005 -- by encouraging users to share their own content online, including photos, videos, music, and other digital files." However the article doesn't seem especially well-informed, focusing on Friendster and iMeem and ignoring the site that pointed the way, Flickr. Wade Roush would do well to read some danah boyd as well as the Social Software Weblog, good sources of background on social network platforms. jon posted this at 8:36 AM |
