Phew, what an amazing and thought provoking day and a half. Some of my personal takeaways from it all:

The relationships between social networking sites and tagging, that social networking sites require us to indicate and articulate ourselves through descriptors…while this kind of articulation isn’t a form of social tagging, it is in fact it’s own type of tagging.

What’s the research agenda for social software? How to leverage media interest and put social software in a format that the public can digest, run against danger discourse that is current thread.

Concepts of ephemeral permanence: that there are serious risks of these instanciations of [...] being kept forever in the digital ether.

What is the nature of the artefacts in digital spaces? How can we save them and what kind of permanence do they have?

What are the relationships between online and offline worlds?

Clearly, more questions than answers….you can see some liveblog notes here. You can also check out more notes at the UNC SSS wiki
