tm A Very Social Christmas and A Happy Connected New Year By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:44:00 +0000 I want to wish everyone, whether you celebrate Christmas or other seasonal festivities, a very happy holiday season and a great new year with many new opportunities for creative growth.From the title you may guess that I am talking about social media, which I am, but more about how I try to fit within that world. Taken in 1955 in Denmark at 4 years old and trying to be a grown-up I believe that, like many people, I seem to have those social connections that you need to link with other people. This works fine if I need to talk or connect with someone but I’m not sure how my articles about photography and other art works all fit within the new worlds of social media. How do I remain fresh and new with all these social outlets competing for the same information. I have My Camera World Blog this and there is a corresponding Facebook page FaceBook My Camera World There is also my art blog ' Niels Henriksen Artworks ' where I post articles about my artwork, whether a painting, fine art photography or other mediums. This is again is matched on Facebook with Facebook - Niels Henriksen Artworks Who says all self portraits have to be ugly. Well maybe they are. There is also just plain old me on Facebook at Niels Henriksen. This Facebook page was initially just to connect with people I talk to regularly but I find I do post mostly about my photography and paintings.I have also loaded some of my photographs on Niels Henriksen on Flickr Please take the time to connect and I'll connect back so I can see some of your photographs. My first studio work where I placed my model battle ships and tried to created a war scene. DOF and focus what's that. Then there’s my Linkedin page which is only visible if you are on linkedin and we have connected. Since we are heading back to San Miguel de Allende for 3 months in Jan I have contacted people about conducting walkabouts with some basic photography lessons included. More than 20 people have shown an interest. To help co-ordinate these walk-abouts and share photos I created a Facebook page ' San Miguel de Allende Photography Club '. Even at 12 years of age I had penchant for the abstract. Honestly this was not an accidental shot, at least that's what I say now. And just lately I've signed on to Goolge+ but as yet haven’t posted anything and that’s the dilemma. How do I remain somewhat fresh across all the media outlets? I just don't want to re-post the same material available on other sites. I don't mind using some of the same images if there is some contextual difference for the audience. This year I want to get a better handle on the whole social media culture and ensure that on each site there is something new and relevant to the reader. I sure would like to here how you are handling your multiple media streams with your content or any ideas about what would work. Please feel free to connect with me on any or all these social sites as I'm happiest when I'm connected with you. Niels Henriksen Full Article Portraits

tm Plenary Talk 8: Social Participation in Student Recruitment By www.ukoln.ac.uk Published On :: 2007-07-17 Paul Boag, from Headscape, considers how social participation is the cornerstone of the web 2.0 movement and has been spearheaded by sites such as digg.com. One of the underlying principles of these sites is that peer to peer recommendations carry more weight than those from either a search engine or from corporate advertising. The commercial sector has been quick to adopt this peer review mechanism with customer reviews and ratings. This talk proposes to explore how social participation can be applied to the process of recruiting new students and what lessons can be learnt from the approach adopted by the commercial sector. We will also look at what institutional barriers exist that prevent this approach and how these can be overcome. Full Article
