Every gardner knows that trees benefit from pruning . How about social networks? Can our networks can get cluttered?

A network topology describes the configuration of a network and the physical and logical arrangement of the nodes that form the network. To know all about the different types of network topologies, read on... A topology describes the configuration of a communication network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

Hello Brainy Smurf (love that name!). That is a troubling stat and likely often true - 14% of time at work is spent on unwanted communication and 36% is spent finding information, contacting people and scheduling meetings. Maybe network analysis and more efficient connectivity can help with some of this? Here's hoping!!!

Hi, Joanne. I am still baffled by the number of people I meet who are drowning in information (emails being the biggest culprit). Networking FEELS like more flooding in the beginning but one learns to build oneself better filters and then its all good. Am in the midst of writing a blog post about that...stay tuned! http://brainysmurf1234.wordpress.com Cheers :)

Your blog post about networked learning was amazing. Lots of tips and things to think about. Thank you. I so enjoyed your insight about networked learning: "It's the payoff for being open to learning and working as if I am sampling from a huge buffet prepared by dozens of chefs, not eating from a fixed menu."

Computer networks are bunch of interconnected PC or computers that facilitate the exchange of data or some other purposeful work. The first computer network to be designed was the "Advanced Research Projects Agency Network" (ARPANET) for the United States Department of Defense in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Computer Network

Not an educational resource for many of you unless you coach football but this is a network that I belong to. I use this to stay connected to a bunch of other football coaches. We upload articles , meet online chant and discuss many different football topics.

Browsing S. Downes' blog http://halfanhour.blogspot.com/2008/07/our-self-and-your-self.html lead me to this resource where people are interested in networking. In my opinion, a node with a lot of information and possibilities to connect.

It may seem like a cheesy website to include, but Amazon is extremely good at creating a highly effective online network. Amazon is the "World's largest bookstore" - largely because of clever use of online networks I believe.
