Reactions to ASIST Panel, Save the Date

First off, thank you to danah, Raquel and Alla for trekking to Milwaukee to take part in our ASIST panel entitled “Research Directions in Social Network Webites.” I’ve received great feedback about our panel – Jeff Pomerantz shares his thougts here. (The check is in the mail, Jeff). A couple people contacted me to ask if the panel was being recorded (it wasn’t), but I did find a liveblog of the panel by Ken Varnum – thank you Ken! All in all, it was a great time and thank you again to the panelists.

In other news, mark your calendar for April 10-11 2008, as ASIST will be putting on a Social Software Summit. This Summit will run in conjunction with the IA Summit in Miami, FL – so if you’re planning on attending the IA Summit, don’t miss this. All of the details are tentative at this point – but hopefully soon we’ll have confirmed dates, a website, and a call for participation.

Google Tech Talk

While in California, I was asked to give a version of my INSNA talk on the Facebook at the Googleplex. It was an honor to be invited, and I tried to give a talk that was fun and focused on the practical aspects of my research. You can view the talk here (Thanks to those who emailed me this morning to let me know it was online).

This summer, I’ll be writing the results of this study up into journal form. Giving these talks and blogging have really opened up how I think about these matters, so I hope to put together an article that will be useful to lots of people. If you’ve got any interesting questions you think I might be able to tackle, please feel free to let me know.

My trip to the west coast was simply amazing. The INSNA conference was great – I’ll certainly make an effort to return in the future. My only regret was not being able to see more of beautiful Vancouver. The IIW was as good as they say, perhaps even better. The Identity Woman Kaliya Hamlin facilitated the best un-conference I’ve attended, I’m already looking forward to next year’s workshop.
