Social Computing in a Nutshell


Shelly Farnham: I came away from the symposium with the sense that the most exciting research in the space will occur with a) the integration of web services and mobile technology -- taking your network with you b) always on, multi-level communication, blogging/chatting/IMing/SMS/email/web surfing/ all in one moment, and c) implicit social "computing"; processing social metadata across people through implicit, inferred behavioral patterns.  The biggest problem to be solved in a social networking, profile-centric age is the control of multiple personas/identities across private, public, and social spaces.
