Special Seminar

Abstract:
Non-professional creation of public online content has outstripped professional content creation of all forms, both online and offline. However, two orders of magnitude more content are created daily to flow through social networks, with as much as two more orders of magnitude still to come as user engagement increases. At the same time, content is diversifying in creation, consumption, and nature. In this talk, I'll cover these trends and their implications, from both single-user and community perspectives. Finally, I'll dig briefly into some of the motivations and concerns surronding the problem of sharing data with the academic community.
