Social networking to me is the ability for multiple users to participate in the online world by the creation, and/or alternation, of content utilising web 2.0 tools. It means users no longer just look at information on a screen but instead they interact with it to increase value and to claim a stake in it.
Social networking technologies or sites I have utilised include:
Facebook
Twitter
Second life
Blogger
wikis
Youtube
Delicious
Skype
Windows MSN
RSS
podcasts
In completing INF 206 Social networking for professionals I expect to gain a greater understanding of the social networking tools available and their applicability. In particular, through learning about social networking it will help me to develop an understanding of how these participatory tools and sites can be utilised specifically within the library and information management world to provide new and/or improved services to users in a manner which is relevant, fun and inclusive.
