  23. Opportunities
    • Advantages of using Facebook for class
  24. Promotes Conversations
  25. It’s Spontaneous
    • The Third Place : Being a shared space not owned by neither faculty nor students may mean equal standing in power.
    • This motivates the user by choice (self-interest), rather than coercion .
    • Informality: Informal channels allow for more spontaneous interaction.
    • Distinguishing motivation for using Blackboard vs. Facebook

  26. Integrate your stuff
    • You can easily integrate your resources into Facebook
    • Posting Links, Notes, Photos, Video
    • Automated posting via RSS -based applications (e.g. FriendFeed)
    • You can even write your own Facebook platform application !
  27. Reputation Motivation
    • Reputation: The willingness to help others can all work to increase one's prestige in a community.

    • Five Game Mechanics 1. Collecting 2. Earning Points 3. Feedback 4. Exchanges 5. Customization
  28. Challenges
    • Dangers of using Facebook for class
  29. Application Spam
    • Plenty of Facebook applications trick users into send invitations to their friends to “unlock” features.
    • When a friend adds such an app, the cycle continues .
    • Competition between application developers to get larger user base.
    • Finally, Facebook decides to stop it ( 21st Feb 2008 ).
    • Users can block specific apps, and clear all pending requests.
  30. Getting Informal?
    • Leisa Reichelt coined the term “ ambient intimacy ”
    • Refers to the constant sense of closeness users feel with their circle of friends through technologies that informally reveal us to each other.
    • Cory Doctorow called out Boyd’s Law where “Adding more users to a social network increases the probability that it will put you in an awkward social circumstance ”.
  31. What Privacy?
    • The original News Feed scared Facebook users
    • Under users pressure , Facebook finally let users adjust what appeared in public
    • Facebook Beacon makes you endorse what your purchase
    • Not everyone aware they have to opt-out ; change privacy options
    • The Wall vs. Personal Message
  32. Walled Gardens
    • A social network service focuses on the building and verifying of online social networks for communities of people who share interests and activities
    • Most traditional social networking sites are “ walled gardens ” (e.g. Facebook)
    • Trap user content to derive ad revenue
    • Can’t leave? Loss of coordination .
  33. Takeaways
    • thoughts on participation
  34. Benefits of Participation
    • collective intelligence - collaborative
    • transparent - instant gratification
    • non-hierarchical - democratic
    • potential for passion - ownership
    • open to public - reputation
    • permanence - searchable resource
