10041 Executive Summary – Perspectives Workshop: Digital Social Networks

Authors: Francois Bry, Clemens Cap, Ingo Dahm, Julia Maintz, and Sebastian Schaffert


Abstract
The Perspective Workshop on “Digital Social Networks” held in between January 25th and 29th, 2010 at the research centre Schloss Dagstuhl focused on technological, socio-economical, and political aspects of digital social networks, and, more generally, digital social media. Digital social media give rise to users and communities to collaboratively generate and exchange content and to interact. They enable social computation, i.e. computations that involve both software and groups of people. They are operated by specific software systems called social software and use information and communication technologies such as the Internet and Web technologies. Digital social media ease and strengthen social interactions by overcoming physical limitations in communication (like distance and synchronicity) and alleviating human limitations like the number of people with whom one can maintain relationships. Digital social media build, and/or rely upon, social networks that might be the primary purpose of the media.

10041 Manifesto – Perspectives Workshop: Digital Social Media

Authors: Francois Bry, Clemens Cap, Ingo Dahm, Julia Maintz, and Sebastian Schaffert


Abstract
This manifesto explains and stresses the importance of “digital social media”, "social software" and "social computing". In particular, it makes the claim that we need a better understanding of how this mix of enabling technology, social behaviour and market practises is challenging our socio-economical and political systems, and puts forward an action plan for the areas of education, fundamental research and applied research, to address these challenges. The goal of this manifesto is to raise awareness for digital social media and to stress the need for research, research funding, and education in a field so far under-represented in public research funding programmes and in education. This manifesto does not cover all aspects of digital social media, or provide a comprehensive treatment of their socio-economical impact. Such issues are beyond the scope of this manifesto. This manifesto is an outcome of a Perspective Workshop held from the 25th to 29th of January 2010 at the research centre Schloss Dagstuhl. The workshop brought together scientists and practitioners from academia and industry, across the fields of social sciences and computer science.

Gaming as social activity

Authors: Carsten Busch


Abstract
Gaming – no matter, wether it's done analog or digital – is a social kind of acitivity. The GamesLab of HTW in Berlin has made an investigation about Gaming in Germany. Some of the results of an representetive survey are: Only 2 % of all Germans don't like to play analog or digital games; 95 % play at least occasionally board games, 43 % play at least occasionally video games or computer games; 74 % like "playing together with others, because it's communicative and interessing".

On the locality of virtual networks: Informal learning in the San Francisco Bay Area

Authors: Julia Maintz


Abstract
Since the 1990s, informal and personal networks have gained increasing attention as repositories of learning and innovation. Social network analyses so far largely concentrate on the impact of network structures on innovation processes. The role of social network dynamics and the interrelation of structure and agency in these processes however need to be more intensively analyzed. This research concentrates on learning dynamics in personal online business networks of communication and computing industry professionals based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The technological potential for online global multi-connectivity of the studied LinkedIn networks showed limited realization due to the users’ stickiness to their physical practice communities and localities. Physical social interaction served as the prime motor of network formation and maintenance.
