"If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you spend a fair amount of time online.

"Why do some social networking services work and others fail? Can we apply the best of Web 2.0 principles to an educational context? More specifically can we use this as a means of shifting teaching practice to a culture of sharing learning ideas and designs?

We describe how we are using the concept of ‘object-orientated social networking’ to underpin the creation of a social networking tool, Cloudworks, for sharing learning ideas and designs." - Sylvia Currie

"Year after year, these conference organizers have repeated the same conference format, securing the same industry speakers (who are typically now writing their own blogs and sharing content online and through their own webinars), with little thought given to upgrading the attendee’s experience, changing the traditional conference format or providing fresh, fine-wine type content. The content is often generic, bland and can be found on your local mobile phone, free by visiting the speakers’ website or blog." - Sylvia Currie
