Social Media is Here to Stay... Now What?

1) How did social media - and social network sites in particular - gain traction in the US? And how should we think about network effects?
2) What are some core differences between how teens leverage social media and how adults engage with these same tools?
3) How is social media reconfiguring social infrastructure and where is all of this going?

Development WebDesign SocialNetworking Twitter Research SocialMedia

Social media is driven by another buzzword: "user-generated content" or content that is contributed by participants rather than editors.
I'm going to share my research in three acts:

1) How did social media - and social network sites in particular - gain traction in the US? And how should we think about network effects?

2) What are some core differences between how teens leverage social media and how adults engage with these same tools?

3) How is social media reconfiguring social infrastructure and where is all of this going?

- Facebook was narrated as the "safe" alternative and, in the 2006-2007 school year, a split amongst American teens occurred. Those college-bound kids from wealthier or upwardly mobile backgrounds flocked to Facebook while teens from urban or less economically privileged backgrounds rejected the transition and opted to stay with MySpace while simultaneously rejecting the fears brought on by American media. Many kids were caught in the middle and opted to use both, but the division that occurred resembles the same "jocks and burnouts" narrative that shaped American schools in the 1980s.
- over 35% of American adults have a profile on a social network site
- many adults have jumped in, but what they are doing there is often very different than what young people are doing.
- Teens are much more motivated to talk only with their friends and they learned a harsh lesson with social network sites. Even if they are just trying to talk to their friends, those who hold power over them are going to access everything they wrote if it's in public
- while you can replicate a conversation, it's much easier to alter what's been said than to confirm that it's an accurate portrayal of the original conversation.
- 1. Invisible Audiences. We are used to being able to assess the people around us when we're speaking. We adjust what we're saying to account for the audience. Social media introduces all sorts of invisible audiences.
- Social media brings all of these contexts crashing into one another and it's often difficult to figure out what's appropriate

Google vs Xerox on R&D | Computerworld Blogs

Google does R&D but has no dedicated researchers or formal lab organization. Every engineer is considered part of the virtual R&D team and is expected to donate 20% of his time – about one day a week – to research.

Xerox takes the traditional approach, investing in a separate R&D function that includes basic research ... what makes each approach successful?

Detours - intercepting Win32 functions

Detours is a Microsoft Research project which exposes a transactional model for intercepting arbitrary Win32 functions by rewriting the in-memory code and attach an arbitrary payload to any binary.

AOP API Microsoft Research Win32 development hacking

Transactional model for attaching and detaching detours.
Detours is a library for instrumenting arbitrary Win32 functions on x86, x64,
and IA64 machines. Detours intercepts Win32 functions by re-writing the in-memory
code for target functions. The Detours package also contains utilities to
attach arbitrary DLLs and data segments (called payloads) to any Win32 binary.

design and build your application as a .NET client application, then assign the
portions of the application to run on the server and the client tiers late in
the development process. The compiler creates cross-browser JavaScript for the
client tier, web services for the server tier, and communication, serialization,
synchronization, security, and other boilerplate code to tie the tiers together.
