"for me that's he difficult part. some of it is related. i like the theory behind communication (social media) but i love the technology aspect as well. things such as the technology behind social media platforms. i can see how that can be tied in.
but then if i want to discuss the news of the day, would this then need to go to another blog?
for example, a blogger i follow dk (www.dk.sg) is one of singapore's top bloggers. he writes about everything under the sun and is quite successful at it.
then you have the more targetted bloggers like http://silkcharm.blogspot.com or http://alannashaikh.blogspot.c... and it's very specific.
Maybe it comes down to clustering (loosely) some interest areas." - Jonathan Nguyen
"You were quick with that response!
I've had some thinking music based on what your thoughts and I think you are right and on two fronts:
First
There is no authoritative source at the moment because no one actually knows! We're still working stuff out and there is no empirical evidence.
Second
Social media like traditional media is more art than science, so what works for one person may not work for another.
The question is though how do we establish experts in this early stage. Does expert mean that you have conducted PhD research or does it mean that we adopt a more open source software stance and submit for peer review and consensus?
I suspect it might be the latter." - Jonathan Nguyen
