The reason for me is I have just finished school and started work!
The plus side of that is that my job is that of eLearning Support Officer at my local University in the UK and a major aspect of the work will be to investigate Web 2.0 concepts and applications to see how they can be applied to Higher Ed.

This is rather a new concept for the UK Higher Education mainstream (certainly out in the backwaters, if not in the big cities) and I am currently developing a social network for staff to share ideas, thoughts, best practice and so on in eLearning, using the Ning platform.

This will be quite radical for some staff members, so I will be reporting back on my experiences and findings over the coming weeks and months on ffynnonweb.com

Any hints, tips and so on are always warmly welcomed and appreciated by me!

If anyone reckons another platform may be better suited, please let me know. I like Ning at the moment because you can make a private network for your place of work with individual groups for each department and support unit, thus tying us all in closely together.

We will see how it works out anyway.

Good luck with school and dont work too hard!

What I think will happen is that the future buzz within social media will be focused primarily on measurement, as the demand increases for it. There are currently tools out there that try to measure the effect of social media, but few that pull all aspects of measurement (both qualitative and quantitative) together.

I've recently started school myself. While it's not the reason I've cut back, I got a feeling it will be in the coming weeks. This is only my first week back.
