Sustainability Concerns …
What happens if Social Web and Library 2.0 services:
• Are unreliable?
• Change their terms and conditions (e.g. start
charging)?
• Become bankrupt
Things to remember:
• Services may be unreliable e.g. Twitter
• Market pressure is leading to changes to T&C – &
paid-for services may become free (e.g. Friends
Reunited)
• Banks may go bankrupt too – but we still use them
• Need for risk assessment and risk management
• What if this doesn’t happen?
