Presentation slides for the Using Social Software: Blogs, Wikis, Social Bookmarking session, 2 April 2009
Lecture2 - Writing and collaboration via Web 2.0 and Social Networking
Lecture 2 discusses the general playing field for writing and collaborating online, as the two are closely inter-linked. There is no real writing without a need to communicate a point, and therefore an audience is required. The nature of that audience is discussed, both from the point of view of collaborating 'writers' and commenters on their blogs.

Blogs- a sankhadeeps presentation
Blogs are frequently updated websites that can be about anything. They originated from online diaries and have evolved with tools that make creating and maintaining blog posts easier. There are different types of blogs including personal blogs, corporate blogs, and those categorized by media type or device used. Blog posts are added to the blog application and made available online. Readers can then view posts, comment, and search blogs. Blog search engines help people find blogs on topics of interest. Blogs are beneficial for knowledge sharing, open discussion, and education.

Online Communities – What are they & How
Online communities are virtual groups where people interact through technology like the internet rather than face-to-face. Blogs are frequently updated websites where an individual or group shares text, photos, videos and links. Blogs allow for easy creation and filtering of content by date, category or author. Participating in online communities through blogging and subscribing to others' blogs is important for having conversations and building relationships.

Federal Health Care Reform 2009: Affordable Health Care for All
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas provides health insurance to over 890,000 members across 103 of Kansas' 105 counties. In 2008, it processed over 20 million claims and paid over $1.8 billion in claims. Five federal health care reform proposals are currently under consideration by different congressional committees. Key concerns with the proposals include the creation of a government-run insurance plan, a weak individual mandate, and lack of cost containment measures. Federal reforms could increase average premium costs substantially without a strong individual mandate and other necessary provisions to encourage broad participation.
