A great day by my account at least (and by some others that I overheard!) was had at the WebCamp workshop on social networks held at DERI, NUI Galway yesterday.
Considering the short notice of just nine days, there was an impressive turnout of between 50 and 60 people, and as well as six talks in the morning we had some interesting "birds of a feather" discussion sessions in the afternoon.
All presentations from the day are available at SlideShare. We hope to publish some of the day's videos to YouTube during the next week. Thanks to Conor and Uldis for their help with organising the event, and to Ina for recording the videos.

[...] Subsequent to posting a link to the (UCD?) ‘Killer Coke’ Bebo page a couple of days ago, it seems the popular page has disappeared. Although never one to underestimate my own importance, I sincerely hope this is not a chilling effect of questioning Bebo’s censorship policy at last weeks Social Network Webcamp. The TCD campaign, which recently succeeded in renewing the Trinity campus Coke produce ban, still has an active Bebo page. [...]
Those seem to help understand
Those seem to help understand things quite a bit. I wanted to bring up though that there is a new social networking site that I think people should keep an eye on. It is www.filmcrave.com - a social media site dedicated to movies. I don't know how fast it will take off but some of the features they have are impressive: Drag and Drop to reorder your top movie list and the ability to instantly search for movies. Check it out if you get a chance - well of course only if you like movies.
