Social Computing in 2020: Bluesky Innovation Competition

The Bluesky Innovation Competition on “Social Computing in 2020” seeks to promote new research directions for social-computing technologies of the future. We encourage participants to think broadly and freely about how society and technology will interact 10 to 20 years from now — far enough in the future to stretch our imagination of technology, yet near enough to be plausible.

  • ie they saw two nights before. Closeness often comes from knowing the small things, not just the big things. Distance makes knowing those small things harder. When you live together, either with your family or your friends, knowing the small things is easy. They get con

BBC NEWS: How Twitter makes it real

[With Twitter] "I feel connected to a community of people, feel that we share a space that none of the social network sites can conjure up, a space that is both here and not here, somewhere between offline and online.

And I feel that I have a fore

The social technography of Web 2.0

  • Mac users are more likely to contribute content online than Dell users. Forrester's research found that as many as 48 percent
    of overall web users participate in Web 2.0 sites in some manner or another.
    13 percent of respondents fell into the Creators category, which is quite
    a bit larger than the numbers given by Hitwise last month. Hitwise claimed
    that an extremely
    tiny percentage     of web users are responsible for the content that's consumed
    on Web 2.0-type sites. But Hitwise appears to have only focused on sites like
    YouTube and Flickr, whereas Forrester's research expands on a broader range
    of media, such as blogs and social networking sites.
