I spent an excel­lent 50 minutes of my week­end listen­ing to this Pod­cast from Uncle Dave and Uncle Mike: Laurel Pap­worth, Social Net­work­ing Strategist

Laurel and I had break­fast to catch up on sim­ilar top­ics in March this year: http://www.on10.net/Blogs/nhodge/the-geek-stories-online-communities-citizen-journalism/

The pod­cast is a more insight­ful con­ver­sa­tion with Laurel, an expert in Social net­works and more import­antly, online communities.

Dis­cus­sion points from the conversation:

• Online iden­tit­ies. Sus­tain­ab­il­ity and secur­ity of identity.  What hap­pens when the social net­work ser­vice fal­ters? Web 2.0 bust up impact digital iden­tity. Part of identity.
• Mike Sey­fang referred to a pod­cast con­tain­ing a com­ment from Net­Alert. “Trash your online iden­tity, and get a new one.” which goes com­pletely counter to research (ref: danah boyd)
• Social net­work­ing archi­tec­tures. Whilst not dir­ectly related, there are some enter­prise level thinkers get­ting into this space.
• Call out to me for Microsoft Pop­Fly. Heard it loud and clear, Laurel!
• Mar­ket of ideas. Com­munity is the new Brand.
• Museums: use SMS to vote for the coolest dead thing.
• Web­Jam and AUReMIX07 promo from Laurel and Mike Seyfang
• 4^th Sec­tor Soci­ety. eg: Coun­try town farm­ers get­ting together when the cows get out. Com­munity con­tri­bu­tions to the greater good.
