1. Social software. Which websites in the picture (top) are familiar to you? What do you think social software is? What do you think makes social software social?

I know only Veoh, youtube, wikipedia, and G-mail. i'm also using them.

I think social software is a device for exchanging informations.

I think simplicity of using is important to make social software social. If the software is hard to use, no one will not use it.

2. Social Networks. How would you define a network? What is social about a social network?

I define social network is invisible lines which are connecting by using softwares. Furthermore, this aggregation of this line can be a community.

I think social about social network can be exchanging information. Only giving or Only getting information can not be social about social network.

Please watch this video on social software. Do you know of a recent situation in which knowledge has become available first through social media?

some people who wants to be a musicians, they update their activity at youtube, veoh, myspace, or some social software.

Please watch this video on social networks. Make notes on what you think the key words are?

keywords: communications, visible/invisible relationships

Please watch this video on social & technological change in the world today (now). What were three things that surprised you? Why?

the subjects of universities are different from 10 years ago. I'm afraid my studying in university will not be useful after 10 years after.

If my space were a country it would be 8th largest country. I know my space but i've never thought it is very big more than country.

More than 50% of U.S.21 year old created content on web. I'm surprised. It means our half body is made by web.

Draw on your current understanding of social software, social networks, and your understanding of the changes in 'Shift Happens' to write your own rationale for choosing to learn how to use social software for learning.

Social software: the tool for people relationship

social network: visible/invisible relationships

I will use youtube for learning because it has not only private video but public.

Richika, parts of this are very good indeed. I especially like, 'I define social network is invisible lines which are connecting by using softwares. Furthermore, this aggregation of this line can be a community.' This is very insightful.
