Dear Colleague

We are happy to announce a one-day seminar and following workshop about
Social Software and Web 2.0. The Seminar and workshop will take place at
Aalborg University (Denmark) on Friday October 6th, 2006.

The seminar is sponsored by and organised by The Doctoral School of
Human Centered Informatics: http://www.hci.hum.aau.dk/

Social software and Web 2.0 are concepts (or buzzwords) that have been
used in order to capture recent developments on the Internet. Websites
such as Flickr, Wikipedia, del.icio.us, Skype, eBay, Google Maps and
craigslist are all part of this second-generation phenomenon, which has
spurred a number of new services and communities. The concepts have been
eagerly adopted within seemingly contradictory areas: on the one hand,
Web 2.0 and social software have been associated with
re-democratisation, empowerment and open content. On the other hand,
they are seen as a huge possibility for profit and market control from a
corporate perspective. In this seminar we offer critical perspectives on
social software and Web 2.0, and we attempt to map the future challenges
for research and business.

Speakers and topics will be:

Søren Mørk Petersen (IT University of Copenhagen) - Confessions of an
academic social software addict

Michael Zimmer (New York University) - The Panoptic Gaze of Web 2.0


Mikkel Holm Sørensen (Actics Limited) - Corporate social management with
social software: Meet CSR 2.0

After the presentations there will be a smaller workshop and discussion
from 13.30 - 16.00.

Best regards,
