POPSEduserv Foundation Symposium This looks to be an interesting day, and it is nice to see that they have chosen an event tag and are disseminating it nice and early.

POPSSocial search More MeAggregator like goodness, this time suggested by Google. Identifying your social network, and sharing search/exploration results with them, should open up results to people based on their own implicit trust networks. MeAggregator plans to make that trust network more explicit, and learn from user interaction as well as allowing the users to define it.

POPSBringing it all together...Digsby This looks like it does a chunk of what we are doing with the MeAggregator(TM) project - but it doesn't include looking at web pages and files as resources, and I don't think it has groups in there either. Still, it will be nice to see when it comes out.

POPSResearch shows people have offline lives too Amazing. Apparently, one can't assume everyone is the same - some people use Facebook and others don't. And people from different social groupings tend to use similar social networking sites. Shock. What is interesting, to my mind, is that correlation between college educated parents and facebook use. Getting a degree condemns your kids to a lifetime of facebooking ;-)

POPSSocial networking software on campus Do students want Yet Another Institutional Interface for something? No, generally they don't. According to a comment in this, they don't want yet another institutional app either. Fair, when you consider how many apps of various sorts there are out there before the institutions start adding to them.

POPSOpen Social api Facebook isn't on the list of services implementing this, which is a shame. Although Google's dominance in things is a little Microsofty in style and causes some people I know concern...

POPSSurveillance in eLearning food for thought. The student, supposedly the centre of learning, is a second class citizen when using institutional learning environments. Whilst more information may be available about them via social networking sites, the sense (and reality) of better control over data ironically may provide more privacy. People value privacy, even if only to be in control of who they give it away to. Institutional oversight of learning (probably) impinges on educational efficacy.

POPSConnectivism, Facebook, Informal learning All good stuff, even if I probably shouldn't clip google results (I must work out whether this is allowable etiquette or not one day!) Anderson has poorly designed slides (!) but covers a lot of important topics, and rather nicely draws out the differences between groups, networks and collectives, I feel. Vive la revolution!

POPSInformal learning FTW A nice case study, backed up by some handy stats in terms of numbers of student conscious of having learned through using Facebook as opposed to their VLE (Blackboard) in a study not entirely dissimilar to one we are just writing up about!

POPSMore on modelling the 'other' More I haven't had time to read, but which I want to get hold of, based on the comments on this page. And, of course, I want to track down the author of this comment, and the others who have replied to this blog. Does anyone else have the increasing problem of there being far too much to read and far too little time?

POPSTechnology Stewards My only real problem with this definition is that a nascent community tends to need a technology steward, but when it is just forming, nobody can really have enough experience of the way it works. At this point, it is crucially important for the Technology Steward to make sure that the technology can support the developing nature of the community, and where it doesn't, it should support migration to one which is better suited.

POPSQlique - the exciting new social netw... wait... Ahh yes, I see - sadly I can't check it out and see whether it is any good, because whilst they remember to say all sorts of things about who it is for, they forget that there is an outside-of-america so it is only for wanky yankies.

POPSMike is a blogger... Mike blogs about phones (yawn!) over at http://www.mobilementalism.com/. It is more interesting than it sounds (to me). This is part of a use case for the MeAggregator project.
