When it comes to social networking, first comes to our mind, out of question, facebook. So before attending this class, I treat facebook equally to social networking. After the first three lectures, I found that I should change my mind that social networking is a huge word and it contains so many things that they are full of our daily life.I learned a lot from the lecture and I just mention some important points below: Firstly, I know the difference between social media, social computing and social networking. Secondly, there are several social experience models. Last but not least, the different levels of cognition.
What I want to know is how social networking will be in future? Will facebook dominating in this area, or several models live together, or some models may disappear?With the above questions, I search the Internet and read some papers also some media from YouTube. Also with this way, I revision about the notions in the lecture better.

For me, graduated form software engineering, as a programmer, exploring MSDN become my daily job. So I want to talk more about MSDN, the community model of several social experience models.Before attending the class, I just treat MSDN as Online help files and technical literature collection , but I finally found that MSDN have more than that two. It also provides online electronics tutorial, Microsoft Product Downloads, Blog, BBS, MSDN WebCasts,with CMP, MSDN Magazine and so a range of services.Then I went to wikipedia and other websites for further information. The result is that, I just used small part of the MSDN. It is an information service of the Microsoft-oriented software development. We should pay attention that the MSDN is focus on developer. So this is the most outstanding difference between MSND and other models. MSDN focus on developer. So we may have a much smaller user than facebook. It is meaningless to discuss the user number between two. We should pay more attention to that the MSDN has its special area. There is no need to seek large user number, the only thing we need to do is do more professional in this area.
With the supporting of Microsoft, I think MSDN will never worry about money, the only thing to do is do better in its own way. One problem we found that there is no competitor with MSDN, or says in another way, without any outside pressure may lead to a bad circumstance. So I think MSDN can do following changes to fit the future challenge.Firstly, develop some new areas for people who do not have the relevant background. Secondly, collecting videos from universities to share. Last but not least, inviting some developer in microsoft to give speech on-line to share their experience.
Reference:
At first, i also treat social networks as facebook or twitter.
回覆刪除I think MSDN is especially important and helpful to developer.As you mentioned above, it can provide almost what we want.But, I hope it can provide more information to non-developers and the rookies,or some non-computer field knowledge to attract more users.
Thanks for your message, as you mentioned above that MSDN can provide more for them who do not have relevent background, I also mentioned at the end of the passage that MSDN can make some changes to meet the future challenges. I think with the help of some basic knowledge from the MSDN that can help much better. AS old Chinese goes"teaching somebody fishing is better then just giving him fish".

回覆刪除Would it be better if MSDN can provide multiple platforms to exchange creative ideas with other members? For example, internal letter service, chatting on line etc.
回覆刪除I really apprecite your message.It seems to be a great idea,and can attractive more people to MSDN. It may be a trend in the future. Only multiple platform can win in the future, do you think so? But in my opinion, in recent years, MSDN will not provoide these services.It will only fouce on developer.
刪除In fact,according to your description on MSDN,I believe it is more like a social website to provide metacognition and epistemic cognition exchange rather than a common website with simply information sharing.It perhaps will be the choice of users with higher need of knowledge such as engineers or researchers and it should be the model.
回覆刪除Thanks for sharing your programming experience of exploring MSDN, I think it is very useful for you and us.MSDN dose really a useful tool for programmer to learn new things. On the MSDN forum, different people from totally different countries could have a platform to discuss and help each other. All of these go to the amazing power of social networking.
回覆刪除Yes,I agree with you about the opinion of epistemic knowledge.I also think that Epistemic cognition is the third level of cognition which can solve this question to some degree. It is also the highest level that led to construction of new knowledge. People share with or learn from the others to produce new knowledge. It is also a process to convince oneself.
回覆刪除Well, I think probably because Microsoft is so powerful that no other companies are willing to build another similar community to compete with MSDN. I use MSDN frequently too, and really appreciate its technical help to my study. After this article I have s strong will to research deeper on its influence on engineer's community.
回覆刪除I agree that MSDN is a social network for developer. MSDN has their own blogging platform, which hosts the blogs of only Microsoft employees. MSDN Forums are the web-based forums used by the community to discuss a wide variety of software development topics.
