Globalisation Of Social Networks
Globalisation Of Social NetworksBrian Kelly is the facilitator and a speaker at a panel session on Transforming the Users Experiences - How Can Institutions Develop Innovative and Affordable Tools to Engage Increasingly Sophisticated Audiences at the JISC Digitisation Conference 2007 which was held on 19-20th July 2007 at St David's Hotel and Spa, Cardiff.
Brian Kelly will give a talk on "Globalisation Of Social Networks". In his talk Brian will describe how Web 2.0 is more than user generated content using blogs and wikis with an AJAX interface and RSS syndication. An important, but sometimes overlooked, aspect of successful Web 2.0 services is the network effect which global services can provide. From this perspective are attempts to provide Web 2.0 features on departmental, institutional or even national services doomed to fail? And if global services do provide benefits over more restricted services, how should we go about maximising the benefits and minimising associated risks, especially in the context of cultural heritage services.
