Social Networking trends and youmeo!

I have been reading about the internet about social networks solutions available and trends of social networks. I came upon this website youmeo, which is a social networking website that gives you the option of aggregating all of your accounts from all other social networks site into you account at youmeo! It is more of a service to connect all you social networking activities into one place.

The website is new, and has already gained around 400,000 user. It is growing fast. People would want easier ways to manage their social networks. It might be a trend that is needed to simplify working online.

Group work 28/08 - putting the pieces together

We made a plan to tried to avoid what happened the first day. Theese were our main topics:


We decided to follow the following rules:

We also divided some tasks:


(Yes, we also decied that the leader should make the blogpost of the day)

Tomorrow we will give Roger a docuemtn of our plan for the group work, but we have the intention to devleop the group structuring in this blog the following days.

Group work 27/08 - missunderstandings

We decided all had the homework to read and understand the assignment.

And to think about these points for Tuesday:


We also made a very short timeplan:


The day also offered some misunderstandings due to the lack of listening, and some waiting, due to that people were away.

When talking it was also frustrating that we mixed subjects and interrupted each other.

and here comes "The Frozen 5"

It was a great two days we have spent at Lejondals Slott Mansion, 45 km outside Stockholm. Team buildings activities took place, from a blind folded - snow storm - excercise, figuring out the program objectives, understanding the learning by doing notion, the value concepts, the how, the what, the crocodile - river crossing excercise, a lot lot of reflections, and lots lots of food!

By the end of the team building activities we were divided into 5 groups. All were ready, with some enthusiams, and with some concerns, to take on the assignments given to us.

The Frozen 5 emerged, we are the fifth group, and we are five members. We were pleased to discover the diversity of talents we have in this group the minute we sat togather and discussed our assignments. We were also pleased to realize that we all come from different countries, and are diverse enough to give different interesting perspectives. Five members coming from Sweden, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan and Syria. As hard as it sound in means of communication, we are excited about the job we have at hand, and are ready to take on our assignments.

We have no plan figured out yet, we haven't come up with ideas yet, but we are enjoying Mark's lectures, and learning new tools and tips that would help us broaden our insights and bring out our creative juices.
