Just a quick note to let you know we are very close to completing the Social Networking Guidelines. We are waiting for a few final comments from the fantastic folks in OGC and then it should be good to go.

In the meantime, I hope you will read this great article by Jakob Nielsen:

Finally, don't forget to mark your calendars for the 2009 New Media Research @ UMN on Sept. 18. Should be a great event!
