The second annual Nonprofit Social Network Benchmark Report, a joint project of Common Knowledge, thePort, and NTEN, has hard data and insights on the trends surrounding social networking technology as part of nonprofit organizations' marketing, communications, fundraising, and program services.

Many social networking sites have come and gone, though it's easy to forget about most of them with monsters like Youtube and Facebook acting like they are the only kids in the classroom.  Social networking online began with a site called Six Degrees which basically invented the social-circle networking guidelines that are used by so many sites today.  It was named after the popular six degrees of separation theory (which I believe was invented by Kevin Bacon…).  More experimental than anything else, the company that made the site grew to a little over 100 employees and was eventually bought for quite a large sum of money.

3DVisA was funded between 2006 and 2008 by the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The Network was hosted by King's Visualisation Lab in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College London. It was an integral part of a wider UK Visualisation Support Network, VizNET, spanning the UK academic research community. This website documents some of 3DVisA activities and provides access to publications and resources created in 2006-2008, some of which continue to be maintained by King's Visualisation Lab. 3DVisA was also the Secretariat of The London Charter for the use of three-dimensional Visualisation in the Research and Communication of Cultural Heritage.

StumbleUpon is the cabinet of curiosities of the web. StumbleUpon is the unGoogle, a curated collection of stuff you didn't even know you were looking for. I stumbled around in the arts section and saw more great stuff than in a week on Twitter.

Timeline mit Sozialen Funktionalitäten: (Beispiel von Frank) "Denn Memolane ist nichts anderes als eine multimediale, interaktive Timeline des eigenen digitalen Lebens. Plus eingebauter Zeitmaschine. Wäre das noch nicht des Guten genug, ist Memolane auf eine Networking-Komponente aufgebaut, die es anderen Nutzern bei Erlaubnis ermöglicht, eigene Ergänzungen in diese Timeline einzutragen. Dieses Timeline-Networking lässt dann natürlich eine sehr komplexe Darstellung einer Geschichte aus den unterschiedlichsten persönlichen und medialen Blickwinkeln zu."

""Decode" at the V&A: Digital Reflections and Refractions " The exhibition has been arranged under three closely intertwined themes: Code, Interactivity and Network. A large installation in the Grand Entrance of London's Victoria and Albert Museum clatters away, registering its presence in this historic hallway. Jointly commissioned (by the V & A and SAP), bit.code (2009), by Julius Popp, consists of a large panel of black and white blocks which appear to represent a curious, indecipherable code as they rotate around their frame.

A story has a beginning, a middle, and a cleanly wrapped-up ending. Whether told around a campfire, read from a book, or played on a DVD, a story goes from point A to B and then C. It follows a trajectory, a Freytag Pyramid-perhaps the line of a human life or the stages of the hero's journey. A story is told by one person or by a creative team to an audience that is usually quiet, even receptive. Or at least that's what a story used to be, and that's how a story used to be told. Today, with digital networks and social media, this pattern is changing. Stories now are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable. And they are told in new ways: Web 2.0 storytelling picks up these new types of stories and runs with them, accelerating the pace of creation and participation while revealing new directions for narratives to flow.

Ja, wer kennt sie mittlerweile nicht, die mit kritischem und Wissen suggerierendem Blick eines potentiellen Kunden gestellte Frage wenn es um Social Media Aktivitäten geht: "Und wo ist der RoI?" Dabei wissen die meisten der Kunden noch nicht einmal, was RoI bedeutet. Aber es klingt erstmal wichtig und wissend. Und wir, die wir uns mit Social Media Marketing intensiv beschäftigen und das Social Web täglich leben, wir müssen uns ersteinmal kräftig schütteln und den unangenehm kalten Schauer auf dem Rücken vertreiben. Denn das Gegenrechnen von Social Media verstößt eigentlich gegen alels, was Social Media verkörpert: Authenzität, Freiwilligkeit, Spaß, Offenheit, direkte Kommunikation.

Social Media in der Schweiz: Zahlen zu Facebook, Twitter
