Social networking and Web 2.0

I did some updates to my set of pages on Netvibes about social networking and Web 2.0. One nice thing I found was a 50 second interview with Tim O'Reilly in which he defines Web 2.0, and also last month he and Batelle revisited their Web 2.0 definition. You can find the links on the Web 2.0 page of my Netvibes space .... it can be a bit slow to load as it has got various feeds coming into the page http://www.netvibes.com/sheilawebber

ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology

Fairly new out is the ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students [in the USA] and Information Technology, 2009. "It is based on quantitative data from a spring 2009 survey of 30,616 freshmen and seniors at 103 four-year institutions and students at 12 two-year institutions; student focus groups that included input from 62 students at 4 institutions; and review of qualitative data from written responses to open-ended questions. In addition to studying student ownership, experience, behaviors, preferences, and skills with respect to information technologies, the 2009 study also includes a special focus on student ownership and use of Internet-capable handheld devices."
