1. Introduction to Web 2.0 and Social Media
Under this topic I was introduced to the definition of web2.0 which refers to the "interactive web-based services that help people share information and collaborate online more easily than with earlier tools" In principles, web2.0 allows people to communicate,collaborate and create a network, emphasizing "Collective intelligence"
2.Social Networking Sites and Communities
Under this lesson I have learned a lot about social networking and how it is important in the organization. As a consultant I am very much pleased to learn new ways of communicating to my colleagues and also how to connect to people with common interest. This is very important to the growth of my organization thus we are able to share lessons learned with people in different countries as well as to share new business strategies.
3. Privacy, Intellectual Property and Access to Social Media
From this lesson I was made aware of social media privacy, security and intellectual property issues; as well as understanding the implications of access inequality.I also learned that, while social media has a potential to reach out to such large and diverse audiences it has both benefits and challenges which need to be considered in social media strategy. I was also informed that when you are sharing your information, you can also decides on who should see your posts, who control the data, who owns it etc and this is called "privacy"
4. Current Issues and New Ideas
Under this lesson I came to a realization that Social Media is evolving and thus there is change in the way information are shared, new ways of communicating etc. This also brings along new communication devices and that we must always consider the emerging technologies.
