13. Thoughts on Collaboration Do we emphasize the "social" part or the "collaboration" part? How important is critical mass? o Can we measure critical mass by participants alone or does the commonality of the community's goals matter? o Are all participants implicitly peers or are subject matter experts identified? Is the collaboration interactive and purely ephemeral or a durable asset to build upon? What about collaboration communities and business applications?

14. Google Plus Perceived by many to be a competitor to Facebook Supports a different primary mode of interaction using "circles". Leverages Google Talk instant messaging combined with circles. Video and audio chat with friends via "hangouts". Relationship with others in the social / collaborative space can be asymmetric.

15. Google Futures Most Google Apps are service driven with documented Application Programming Interfaces By leveraging enterprise service bus technologies we can integrate disparate technologies to "assemble" novel applications. Lightweight "cloud" applications can be assembled that integrate modern UI standards but bind the business logic to critical legacy business backends. Integration with central roles management will allow better access control options (this is a Google future!)
