This week, we had another interesting speaker explain the content of our assigned readings. Kami was an incredible speaker, and he really kept the class entertained while also educating us about the Internet's many social uses. As seen in Gavin, Morgan, and Libbie's posts (http://sdn.typepad.com/ellipsis/), Kami explained that people may only have one degree of separation amongst each other, which is an amazing concept. As discussed in our break-out blog group discussion, I think that there are certain people who have this one degree of separation, and they help others get to know each other and link people around the world. As seen in the readings, Louis Weisburg is one of those connectors.
Kami also stated that "wikis are documents that are living and breathing" and that "we are relationship animals; the Internet just helps." These types of comments reveal the fact that people are truly dependent on the Internet as a tool for social connection. Kami mentioned websites such as Linked In (http://www.linkedin.com/) that help people exchange information and connect with others across the world.
The presentation on the Social Media Ecosystem went into further detail about the importance of blogs, wikis, podcasts, and other online tools in the formation of social networking. This presentation, Kami's discussion, and the blog group conversation this week all touched on the potential downside to utilizing the Internet as a networking tool. Our blog group could not decide when websites like Second Life (http://secondlife.com/) help less-social individuals grow or if they create barriers for real-life interaction among such people.
Also, the snack group was amazing this week. Could whoever made those white chocolate macadamia nut cookies please give the class the recipe? They were absolutely delicious.
