Speaker(s) Martyn Croft, Head of Corporate Systems, The Salvation Army Giles Hogben, ENISA Expert, ENISA Max Kelly, Senior Director of Security , Facebook (tbc) David [...]

Locking down social networking vunerabilities
I collaborate, therefore I am
In the Observer Charles Leadbeater praises collaborative creativity online, and concludes that the “collaborative logic of the web is not the solitary ‘I think, therefore I am’, it is to be the social ‘We think, therefore we are’.” But as a more business-minded version how’s ‘I collaborate, therefore I am.’? (see ‘People power transforms the [...]
UnLtdWorld: Finally, a social network worth joining
UK-based UnLtdWorld: “Finally, a social network worth joining”, nicely reviewed by Ireland-based Blather.net. See UnLtdWorld’s chief strategist Alberto Nardelli’s LinkedIn profile — he’s a smart guy. Interesting to see his focus on empowerment work; which reminded me to add my own professional/research experience to my LinkedIn profile from mental health media to work with [...]
IT Counts launches
See Dennis’s blog on the launch of IT Counts http://www.accmanpro.com/2008/03/06/icaews-it-counts-launches-yay/ today on the WordFrame platform.

And check out David Terrar’s Social Media Today blog [...]

A clue to stopping the ‘eco-town’ near Stoughton?

The Social Networking World
Nice blog exploring the global dimensions of social networking. Note that there’s also the Brazilian love of Orkut, and recent cash raised for new Turkish networking sites to consider as well. Anyhow, for you “English-speaking media types”..
Reality check in Google’s stats behind the social networking ‘fad’
From a NY Times article in late 2007: “People don’t appreciate how many page views on the Internet are in social networks,” Mr. Schmidt told a group of reporters at the end of its Zeitgeist conference, a two-day gathering of an eclectic mix of Google partners, competitors, social activists and politicians. Social networks, he [...]
Edge.org & social networks
See blog commentary on Social Networks are Like the Eye piece. If that’s your ‘thing’.
Duncan Bannatyne’s gym slip?
I recall on Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne referring to the gym membership as a ‘database’. Is it missing an opportunity then that this is not readily online (I know this as his gym staff have to check your membership at another club when visiting theirs)? Guess the cost of the odd phone call outweighs the ROI, not to [...]
