MIT's Alex Pentland has some interesting things to say about Trust Networks (such as those of banking organisations) and how they might provide better security and protection of privacy in social media environments.
Facebook is so yesterday! I think this one is especially interesting in light of the Alexa rankings quoted in the OCLC Report from 2007. MySpace was incredibly popular...once.
Yes, it was funny reading that report and remembering how much Rupert Murdoch paid for MySpace in 2005 (500mill+)...think Justin Timberlake bought it for 35mill in 2012...still love the retro feel/look of it though!

Web 2.0 technologies have facilitated our capacity to interact with each other and with the marketers of the products we use. Are we enabled or brand slaves?
