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.
