IEEE Series on the Social Web
IEEE Spectrum just published a special report on “The Social Web”, which does a great job of summing up where we are and what the landscape looks like.
Some of it is the same old (and tired) Google vs Facebook PR schmaltz, but they are the major players circa 2011, at least in population and business valuation.
The pieces I was really drawn toward are the ones that survey the state of social privacy (as in, is it an oxymoron?) and the excellent article about Facebook’s lack of social context. Do your family and work colleagues see you the same way your friends do? Should they?
