Yes, I think I’m definitely more comfortable than I would be otherwise. I had sort of an epiphany though when I was working at Microsoft last summer and since then I’ve really become a power user of SM. It’s still hard to relate my understanding of SM as a professional toolset to friends who haven’t had that aha! moment.

That’s great Tariq – seems like Stanford has integrated social media into the curriculum pretty well in your program. As a result, do you now feel more comfortable using social media for reasons beyond just keeping in touch in friends?

Interesting post Steve. I think I’ve been quite lucky in that my coursework in Science, Tech & Society @Stanford has pretty deeply integrated social media, from the study of blogging as a socio-technical phenomenon, to collaborative authoring through class wikis, to case-studies on social media businesses to actually coding/designing social media applications. I’m currently working on part of a final exam for my sci-fi literature class that involves critically analyzing a Wikipedia entry on one of the texts and re-writing it. Other assignments for this same class have included building objects and interacting in Second Life and contrasting the issues of identity/humanity which Second Life raises, with themes/issues that we’ve encountered in sci-fi texts and in our use of social media.

I understand the point about the need or lack thereof, but who decides what I need. More importantly, how do they know what I need? I have post where I talk about this and would love to hear your thoughts - hope you don't mind the link

Thanks Meagen – I definitely think that we need to look at all this Gov 2.0 stuff from a citizen perspective and ask ourselves if what we’re creating is really benefiting them, or if it’s just something “cool” or “checking the box” or “because everyone else is doing it.” Stop telling people what we think is important and instead listen to what THEY think is important and then try to create something for them. In the best cases, those two things match up really well, but in others, what the public wants is vastly different from what the government churns out.
