Social networking and communications have their own presence among the people. For proper survival of the human beings, it is important to incorporate them as the essential parts of the daily life. People tend to make a great mistake by overlooking different aspects of social networking due to various reasons.

The main reason is lack of sufficient time to interact with each other. Some time before it was not a big issue. But now, due to excessive competition for the survival and with the dream of achieving lots of things within a short period of time, people tend to forget the importance of social interaction.

If we talk about today’s social network then online interaction is an important part of it.

So What Is A Social Network?

March 24th, 2009

Basically, a social network is made up of individuals or organizations that are connected through various social contacts ranging from casual acquaintances to family members. Social networks are established to encourage connections and communication to occur on a wide variety of levels.

A basis for the theory of social networking was a study performed by Stanley Milgram in 1967 that established that any two random United States citizens are connected to one another by a series of six intermediaries, on the average. This idea was made more popular by the play and subsequent movie, “Six Degrees of Separation”, as well as the television show “Six Degrees”. Current Internet experiments continue to explore this concept, such as the Ohio State Electronic Small World Project and Columbia’s Small World Project. These experiments currently confirm that five to seven degrees of separation are sufficient to connect two people through the Internet. This also serves to confirm the potential effectiveness of Internet social networks to build new connections between people.

The first Internet social network began in 1995 and has 12.9 million visitors today. This makes it difficult to comprehend the rule of 150, also known as the Dunbar number, that states that the size of a genuine social network is limited to about 150 members. Over 200 Internet social networking sites exist and the number of members that belong to most them steadily increases.

In an Internet social networking site, a group of founders sends messages to invite members to join the site. Those members then invite additional members and the links continue to grow. Some social networking sites offer viewable profiles for members, address books and online social connections on a social or business level. Many Internet social networks are open to the public.

Internet social networks are a convenient way to link with new people, both personally and professionally. Consider that the senior director of Nielson/NetRatings, Jon Gibs, states that Internet “…social networking is not a fad that will disappear. If anything, it will become more ingrained in mainstream sites.”

Must-See Online TV: Kutiman’s Mother of All Mashups

March 13th, 2009

After seeing mention of it on TechCrunch and Mashable, thought I’d check out this Kutiman guy’s new album/video: the one in which every clip and every sample came off of YouTube. It’s aptly called “ThruYou” and the Web site on which the seven-track production can be found sports an interface that looks like the YouTube home page — if it had been left under a bus and run over a few times. Recognizable, but a faded version of the actual product.

But this whatever-it-is is anything but. The world music/funk “ThruYou” is a ton of fun, and sometimes, even, haunting (there’s a word that’s never been used in a Social Media Insider column before). But it’s also mind-blowing just because it exists; it would have been unimaginable a few years back that so many people would share little audio and video bits of themselves with the rest of the world. The clips that appear in the videos — and off of which the audio is based — range from an elderly woman playing a church organ to a young French guy smoking a joint.

A few years back, it also would have been unimaginable that someone could make art out of all these audio and video bits, working at home, as Kutiman apparently did.

A project like “ThruYou” should make us crucially aware of one fact: the line between professional and amateur content is getting more and more squiggly. What do you call an album created by a professional musician out of amateur content? The first song is called “The Mother of All Funk Chords” (quoting someone who appears on what looks like an instructional video for guitar) — but the project is certainly the Mother of All Mashups.

Now, because I always wonder about these things, I wonder how Kutiman will make money out of this. Unlike one of his albums, it’s not on Amazon or iTunes… yet. And maybe, due to intellectual property concerns, it can’t be, unless all of the YouTube “stars” his project uncovered sign off on it, and, probably, if they’re smart, ask for some revenue. That would be a logistical nightmare. By my count, ThruYou uses upwards of 150 YouTube clips. However, with all the buzz this project seems to be getting, it’s quite possible the music will become popular on a broader scale. I hope Kutiman is ready to go wherever this takes him.

But enough of my lame attempt at a business angle. I suppose I focused on this because, despite our little community’s obsession with iPhone apps and social media ad models, sometimes it’s worth pointing to one of those things that sums up how social media is creating the zeitgeist. This is one of those things.
