CASCON 2007 Conference, Day 1



I just finished co-chairing a session on Tagging as a Social Contract along with Mark Chignell and Sara Darvish, where we had 4 talks about issues surrounding tagging in a business environment. This was the second session as part of the Second Working Conference on Social Computing and Business at the CASCON 2007 conference. It was a great workshop and great session, and great discussion. I talked about how community can be inferred from tagging using the YouTube vaccination videos as an example. Podcasts and slides from the workshop should be available, so check the CASCON blog.

I also showed a demo of a community-based web portal that our lab created to support vaccination groups in our exhibit at the Technology Showcase called "Video Web 2.0: Collaborative Tagging in Web Video". If you're at CASCON, check it out!
