The blog post then discusses an approach the author took - forecasting technologies backwards in time to give plausible reasons for their demise. For example, it suggests Twitter would not scale and become "clogged", seen as similar to email spam, and be replaced by meeting in real pubs with real friends. For videoconferencing, it speculates research may find people prefer face-to-face meetings and

Using social web services like blogs, wikis, social networks and video sharing sites can help maximize access to an organization's resources, ideas and brand. These services allow engagement with potential audiences and monitoring how the organization is discussed online. An example is given of the Brooklyn Museum which uses services like blogs, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube very effectively. It is concluded that ignoring the potential of social media risks losing out to peers, and using these services can support an organization's mission.

Dr. Alec Couros gave a presentation on teaching and learning in a networked era. He discussed how Web 2.0 tools can transform research, teaching and service if academics choose to build serious academic lives online. He also talked about the shift from formal to informal learning and how access to free and open content through mobile computing and digital networks is changing education. Couros believes that understanding networks is a key literacy and that educators should explore open teaching practices like massive open online courses to connect learners worldwide.

This document provides an overview of effective social media uses and practices for businesses. It discusses how social media has fundamentally changed connectivity, with people now separated by about 3 degrees, moving from the information era to the networked era. While social media gives companies a wider audience, companies that self-endorse are often kicked out of the conversation. The document recommends that companies create a personable online persona and get others involved through interactions, guest blogging, and leveraging office events. General social media guidelines include using discretion, being engaged and informed, and focusing outward rather than inward. The main social media sites - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and blogs - are also overviewed.

The presentation then categorizes and explains content sharing, producing, and relationship building tools and provides resources for further study.
