Social media revolution
Wisdom of the crowd
FlickrID: mararie
Reciprocity
“a state or relationship in which there is mutual action, influence, giving and taking, correspondence, etc.,
between two parties or things” OED
A tool for collaboration and creativity
Networks
“Where trust and social networks flourish, individuals, firms, neighbourhoods and even nations prosper.”Robert Putnam, Bowling Alone
“People who transact with friends and relatives report greater satisfaction with the results than do those who transact with strangers.”Dimaggio and Louch, Socially Embedded Consumer Transactions
Digital networks
You and F2F colleagues
You within network of partners
You within your global digital peer network
Benefits of networking
Research moves more quickly if ideas are shared
You might be able to help others
To foster/join a community
You’ll know what others in your field are doing
You’ll get information and references that will save you time and help you spot things that you would have missed.
Fame and reputation
People tend to like to employ people who they have prior knowledge of
Network theory
You don’t need to know everyone.
Knowing who the connectors are is important
Be aware of what networks you are in and what ones you are not in
Being part of a network takes time and energy – you can’t be part of everything.
People who are outside of your core network (weak links) can often help you more than those inside.
Lots of people who can help you a bit (the long tail) is better than a few people who can help you a lot.
