- 👤 Speaker: Simon Hay, Andrew Rice and Joseph Newman
- 📅 Date & Time: Monday 23 February 2009, 14:00 - 15:00
- 📍 Venue: FW26, William Gates Building
Abstract
Social networking has become a hugely popular Internet service and many aspects of it mirror that of pervasive computing. Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) can be thought of as providing a publish/subscribe service for contextual information, users of Facebook (http://www.facebook.com) update their status to indicate if they are at work or at home (or single!). We presented a position paper at W3C Workshop on the Future of Social Networking introducing these parallels to the social networking community.
This meeting will comprise a presentation on the feedback we got from the paper followed by a discussion/brain-storming session on what pervasive computing might learn from social networking.
As preparation please read the position (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sjeh3/social/) – this should only take 5 minutes!
