A very useful diagram, that I can’t actually track down the original creator of this, as Wisdump seems to have gone off line. It demonstrates nicely some of the features that were discussed in the recent Poke 1.0 Symposium. Facebook is at the meteroic growth rise – how much is viral spread and how much…

Just one ID?
OpenID crops up quite often in the blogosphere. While I can see the point to a certain degree, there are also issues of merging upmteen accounts into one. Stephen Downes is a strong advocate, though I can see the points that Langhoff raises in the comments regarding security (particularly after the news of the loss…
Should I start to twitter?
I can very much agree with the first part of Marshall Kilpatrick’s review of the World’s Most Popular Twitter Clients. “I thought it sounded stupid.” He’s now changed his mind, and has reviewed a range of different twitter clients. I’ve yet to be convinced, as it’s just another thing to have to do. Perhaps part…
Popular News – facebook.
I’ve been wandering around Facebook – trying to see what I can see on the two networks that I’m part of. I’m registered with Uni. Portsmouth (thanks to working here), and Durham – as an alumni. I’m not entirely sure how the Durham network works, as I’ve got one friend who is also there –…
Social bookmarking links – BBC
I’ve just noticed that all the articles on the BBC now allow you to create Social bookmarking links. They have 5 to choose from -del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, Facebook and Stumbleupon….
Journal of Computer Mediated Communication.
Vol 13 Issue 1 is just out. It includes several articles on Social Networking. There are several that have interesting looking titles, such as one looking at IM and disruption in the workplace, email flaming, what (if any) differences there are between users and non-users of Social Networking sites, aspects of privacy – and several…
20 Ways To Aggregate Your Social Networking Profiles
Stan Schroder, on Mashable, looks at aggregation of Social Networks. He quotes Kottke discussing different social networks: since all of them require different credentials to log in, theyre just adding to the noise 20 different tools are listed, most, though not all, are websites. Not that many seem to include Facebook in their set of…
Facebook – deleteing messages.
I’ve just tried to delete some messages in my inbox (I’ve found in the past, that I can’t mark as read, I was having to *actually* read them) I’ve now discovered that it’s in Firefox that I can’t delete. IE was quite happy to let me delete. Is this just my set up, or is…
The Dynamics of Social Networking.
This is another post I’ve had in my “drafts” for quite a while. I had actually skim read it this afternoon, as the title that was picked up was just the website name … so “How to save the world”. In this particular post, Dave Pollard looks at the whole range of dynamics of social…
The Web is Agreement
Paul Downey has uploaded an image “The Web is Agreement” to Flickr. It’s a very rich image, and well worth spending some time looking at. He’s created a set of images, and has also created a very clear .pdf (A2) that can be downloaded. In the comments, others have referred to Tim Berners-Lee’s diagram, and…
