What is Social Networking (SN)? • ICT Technologies; Significant Penetration • Possibly Most Fruitful Communications • Open Source vs. Confidential • SN Architecture Really Matters
What is SNs Architecture? • User(s), I/OSP, Pipes, Repositories • Facebook, Blogs, Twitter, Others? • Limited Confidentiality Invites Scrutiny • Content, MetaData, Leads, Confirmation
