"Getting the Scoop On a Future Boss"
I'd love to see the creation of a social network for educators that allowed us each to have a space for publications, class material, blogs, links and the rest, all networked to other instructors so that we could see what others are doing and share our work and experiences. I wonder if in future we'll see these kinds of social networks built around professions or other primary identities, which could have multiple overlapping "tags," depending on how we define ourselves, with certain areas of the space visible only to some networks and not others. The problem as it stands now is that it is difficult to have multiple personae online--you are expected to have one delicious site, one blog, one webpage. But in reality the private and the public require very different fora. It will be interesting to see if this can all get aggregated and yet segmented at the same time.
