The Big Tent Just Got Bigger: Preliminary Outline Updated

E-mail is now officially old school. Outside of work and school, e-mail appears to be fast slipping into the realm of users characterized by silver-haired retirees marveling at just-arrived e-mail pictures of their grandchildren. Meanwhile, young adults and other outriders are turning the Internet upside down. Such forerunners are deploying new tools that are sparking a boom in the number of digital communities where users control content. Yet these same users are quick to collaborate and engage in social networking. This new generation of blogers, podcasters, wiki editors, flickerers, video chatters, and others is driving Internet content and re-defining how people interact.

Preliminary Outline Updated

Elizabeth, does the outline assignment below work for you? I can share with you some non-profit sites I have found. In addition, I propose deleing item III. We will essentially cover the tools and stakeholders in Item II and IV. OK? BTW, our presentation is due to APRA Sept 19, which is 2 weeks in advance of the conference.

Thanks for your help on this. It should be fun.

Intro (RCB)

II. Putting up the Tent (history of social nets) (RCB)

III. Stakeholders and drivers (tools) (Delete)

IV. Inside the Tent (Non profit digital communities) (Eliz)

V. Discussion (RCB/Elizabeth)

I think the outline looks good. I agree with taking out the tools as I wasn't sure where you were going with it.
