Microsoft Research today is hosting the second day of a two-day Social Computing Symposium in Redmond, Wash., today, but you are invited to take a peek at key sessions via webcasts. Microsoft is also supporting interactive chat to enable those not on site to participate. The event has attracted about 90 people from Microsoft Research and other labs and companies. Today’s panels include “Interactions in online ‘Spaces'” and a wrap-up keynote by Nokia’s Matt Jones, writer Clay Shirky and Yahoo Research Berkeley social media researcher danah boyd, who for some reason doesn’t use Capital Letters in her name.
A few recent pieces we’ve done on social networking regarding an eBay purchase, a Microsoft buyout and a social networking conference held at MIT.
