Key Issues and Applications of Social Networking Technologies in Libraries Meredith Farkas September 12, 2007

What is social software? My definition: To be defined as social software, a tool must meet at least two of the following conditions: 1. It allows people to communicate, collaborate and build community online 2. It can be syndicated, shared, reused or remixed, or it facilitates syndication 3. It allows people to easily learn from and capitalize on the behavior or knowledge of others

Examples Blogs RSS Wikis Social networking sites (MySpace/Facebook, etc.) Social bookmarking sites Other online communities Instant messaging/VoIP/Webconfere ncing Podcasting Video blogging/screencasting Multi-user virtual environments and games
