About the Presentation

The presentation will provide a walkthrough of the history and current landscape of Social Networking and Social Media on the Internet.

In addition to many broad social sites (Facebook,  mySpace,  Flickr and YouTube) and topical sites (catster, dogster and  myyearbook), we will explore how other communities and companies are beginning to leverage the social media technology (so called web 2.0 technology) to improve the level of engagement of their constituency.

We have just experienced Version 1.0 of the Web 2.0 revolution. While the successes are many and large, there remain many issues and challenges that prevent many other users or social communities to join the revolution. We’ll examine the successes achieved so far and limitations to be solved.  We’ll present our view of second version of the revolution as Social Media 2.0 might look like and the opportunity it presents to social community entrepreneurs, community groups (PTAs, Non-Profits, Associations, User groups),  and companies and brand marketers. We’ll describe how Orbius’ view such opportunity in its context.
