Just finished Part 1 of this interview with Marc Smith. Talk about new paradigms... it was quite interesting to think about these social connections through the internet, and actually creating programs that can decipher them.
According to Smith, in these environments, "It makes sense to take and not give." I hadn't thought of that before, but that is exactly what one is doing when one uses information gathered in this way. Also, just like the theory that 10% of the people do 90% of the work in most organizations, he identified the fact that 2% of the population are considered the "answer people" and do 85% of the work. See the similarity?
S.N.A.R.F. = Social Network And Relationship Finder, relevance having to do with relationship, the key to his research and investigation... all new concepts to me.
Sadly I have to agree with him that kids text almost more than they talk, which accounts for the fact that their people and communication skills often leave a lot to be desired.
Stay tuned for comments about Part 2...
