I *love* Valomilks, which you can't get anywhere else. Basically the sweetest thing on the planet.

2. how we share is changing

active

passive

motivations for sharing

What are my friends up to?

Keep my friends posted

Extremely interested in what my friends are doing

Convinced my friends are uninterested in me

High social activation energy for the sender

“Look at me!”

“I’m important”

Result: we share a lot less than we could/should/want to

Example

‘I didn’t know Joe got a new car’

“I’m not that self-important”

separating access from notification

Clay Shirky: “publish, then filter”

result? we share much more

3. Social sites to social web

transition

user-generated content
