Hello Multimedia people,
I thought this might be of interest to you, thanks
Use8 - The User Experience Society presents:
"New Frontiers in Social Media"
Thursday February 12, 2009 from 5:30pm - 9:00pm
Jurys Inn
101 Stroudley Road
Brighton, England BN1 4DJ
Web 2.0 has brought a new generation of online tools that enable users
to network, share resources and participate in discussions on a global
scale.
This growth in social media is indicative of its entry into mainstream
culture and its integration into the daily lives of many. Even in its
infancy,social media is having a profound effect on its audience, by
offering them new and varied ways to communicate and create - changing
their status from user to 'produsers'; breaking the traditional, more
closed structure of mass media.
New Frontiers in Social Media is an event that will explore how social
media will influence our lives in the future.
The event will bring together a mix of thought leaders, professionals
and academics to answer the questions - How will these technologies
evolve? How will they create new experiences for users? and how will
they impact social changes?
Use8 events are informal and tend to create an open atmosphere
conducive to discussion and networking. A good mix of creative
businesses, professionals and students are expected to attend. The
event will be held on the 12th of February 2009 at the Jurys Inn Hotel
- Brighton UK.
The event is free to attend but you need to register:
