Group Brainstorming
Discuss your social networking technology in your group. Share your experience.
How will your Social Networking technology emerge in this session? How often? In what form? How long does it take to consume? Does is require your participation or engagement?
Now, as a group, do it until I blow the whistle

The Dilemma…
Owned by the students alone
You and your delivery can be marginalized.
Engagement is reduced
Learning is reduced
SocialSocialNetworkingNetworking
Owned by YOU and the students
You speak with currency and respect
You reach them where they are.
You capitalize on the intrinsic value they already recognize.

My Space The very first MySpace users were E-Universe
employees. The company held contests to see who could sign-up the most users. The company then used its resources to push MySpace to the masses. eUniverse used its 20 million users and e-mail subscribers to quickly breathe life into MySpace, and move it to the head of the pack of social networking websites.
Some employees of MySpace including DeWolfe and Berman were later able to purchase equity in the property before MySpace, and its parent company eUniverse (now renamed ‘Intermix’), were bought in July 2005 for US$580 million by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation

Photolog In Spring 2006, a book of photographs from fotolog.com was
published by the UK publisher Thames & Hudson titled fotolog.book: A Global Snapshot for the Digital Age.
Edited by Andrew Long and containing text contributions by Nick Currie, the book is organized in sections highlighting several themes that arose in the site's community of photographers and several individual photographers from some of the major cities and countries with many fotolog users.
On Sunday, July, 29th, 2007 Fotolog hit a milestone of 10,000,000 users. To celebrate they awarded to its 10 millionth user 10 years of free Gold Camera membership and 25 memberships to be given out to friends, also the "Reverse Friends/Favorites" list, which used to be exclusive for paying members, is now open to everyone.
