Social Net

TwitterFacebook

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. drewc Apr 16

Commercializing the Social Net

We are living in the world of Web 2.0, where hundreds of millions of people are connected to the Internet and millions of those people are connected on social networking sites like Facebook , LinkedIn , MySpace , and Twitter , using blogs , and posting on YouTube and Flickr. The vast amount of ways in which people can be connected online has sparked the interest of cloud computing services. Cloud computing services have been developing ways to tap into the Web 2.0 world and establish means of turning the flow of information and communication into business potential. Social networks have become excellent tools for businesses to use when they are looking to inform customers about their services, as well as to establish means of communicating with their customers. Cloud computing services are being used by businesses to develop applications that help them improve their business operations, increase productivity, and establish a competitive edge in the marketplace. http://www.allthingscrm.com/social-networking-for-business/the-connections-between-social-networks-and-cloud-computing.html

yes u r right, young kids r making all these sites prosper lol. by freedirectory Apr 10

80% of all traffic on twitter and facebook is mostly useless chit chat and they thrive? Who am I to say. I think most of the newer magazines and websites that are targeted to the "younger crowd" rely on limited attention span this one seems no different. by drewc Apr 10

Technorati is the dumbest website with more buttons than one can count. Plus the blogs they feature are all uninteresting and their blog popularity alogrithm is completely wrong. I give it a year. by bizarre Apr 9

Social Media Resources

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. https://socialsourcecommons.org/about

Social Source Commons

The Social Source Commons (SSC) is standards-based, open source web platform for mapping "what's out there??? and ???who's using what??? in NGO/NPO software, based on a model that blends the sharing ethic and passion of nonprofit and NGO technologists with the best new internet technologies and information models. by drewc Apr 16
