Input Session 3: Guest - James Cook. Social Networks

For next week's Output Session, address the following question:


* Which models are used for new media 'networking' events?
  • identify: find some examples in various locations, (eg. Silicon Valley, UK cities); describe them.
  • analyse: are there similarities between the examples that you've identified? can you generalize them, putting them into groups?
  • evaluate: in relation to the industry - what are the benefits, drawbacks etc of these events?
* What recommendations would you make for such a networking event in your local area?
  • evaluate in relation to your own, and local area's requirements
