Social Net

Facebook Twitter

Originally this pearl was to hold a few sites that were for “social networking” like Facebook.

However social networking is far more than simply keeping in touch with old friends, connecting with other professionals in your field. or following your favourite "icon".


It is sharing your experiences with others of like mind. Sharing experiences, finding and sharing blogs, photos, television shows, movies, restaurants, software, travel etc.
This team pearl has grown to encompass all the above and others I haven't though of. The list could become very large hence I have broken down the sites by type. TweetDeck - Your social world. Social Media Marketing. GetGlue: Check-in To Entertainment. Social Network for Entertainment Discover what to watch, share what you're watching with friends and fans, and get updates from your favorite shows.

Today, people carry smartphones around in their pockets instead of being tethered to a desk, allowing people to stay in touch on the go. Skype has likewise evolved to help people stay connected from anywhere on any device, and we’ve continued to see growth on Skype for mobile devices.

In fact, we’re honored that Skype is consistently rated as one of the top mobile apps on iTunes, the Google Play Store and the Windows Phone Store. We’re always hard at work evolving Skype for mobile, and have continued to add new features, such as group video calling. We’ve enabled video messaging in Skype and fun features such as filters, to make your messages even more personal. Due to these updates, the last day Skype Qik will be available for use will be March 24th, 2016. For more information, please check out Skype’s online support pages.

Commercializing the Social Net

The Connections Between Social Networks and Cloud Computing | CRM | All Things CRM Blog. Everyone is talking about “the cloud.” But what does it mean? Business applications are moving to the cloud. It’s not just a fad—the shift from traditional software models to the Internet has steadily gained momentum over the last 10 years. Looking ahead, the next decade of cloud computing promises new ways to collaborate everywhere, through mobile devices. Life before cloud computing Traditional business applications have always been very complicated and expensive. The amount and variety of hardware and software required to run them are daunting. When you multiply this effort across dozens or hundreds of apps, it’s easy to see why the biggest companies with the best IT departments aren’t getting the apps they need.

Cloud computing: a better way With cloud computing, you eliminate those headaches because you’re not managing hardware and software—that’s the responsibility of an experienced vendor like salesforce.com. Cloud 2: Mobility and collaboration. Glass.

Social Media Resources. Social Source Commons. Problem Statement A great range of resources exist to inform software selection, use and support in NPOs and NGOs, but they are not well connected, and rarely share common formats or metadata. To date, there is no place for comprehensively mapping the full range of "what's out there" and "who's using what", and in turn aggregating relevant information for tools and categories of tools.

There is also no general platform for sharing collective software knowledge in geographic, subsector and other specialized contexts. Anecdotal inquiry and formal research both indicate that software selection in the NPO/NGO sector is usually done by "asking friends what they use". A resource that systematically inventories available tools, and connects that inventory to the wealth of relevant information resources is long overdue. Aggregating Software Knowledge for the NPO/NGO Sector The Social Source Commons (SSC) is standards-based, open source web platform for mapping "what's out there???
