This company seems to package much of the free software for social networks within a company. They present an interesting vision of how it all might work as people collaborate on a project and utilized the system to find the right human resources. This looks sort of like the descriptions of what networked learning should (kind of) look like in schools. This is the industry model.

Thanks for this, Anna. I saw this group as part of an interview on ABC about iPads. Their data really gets me thinking about the educational and home space and how we need to design content to leverage the technology that is most accessible to them - and the iPad isn't the "golden ticket" (at least in this age span).

CommonSense is a strong organization - they have a comprehensive database of reviews of content, so if you are a parent looking for the low down on a media product (whether it be a TV show, video game, movie, etc.), commonsense is a good place to get an overview of the product. I have heard arguments, however, that their tendency is to be more conservative in their reviews. May not work for every parent, but definitely a good resource!
