Business Uses of Social Software
Time: 5:00 to 5:30 pm
We have the pleasure of welcoming Sébastien Paquet from the NRC IIT who will speak to us about the use of the social networking systems and weblogs.
Social networking systems and weblogs (also known as blogs) have recently emerged as innovative and very low-cost ways to communicate and connect that take full advantage of the capabilities of the Web. This short talk will explain what these tools are and why they are interesting, with a particular eye to how they can be useful for businesses, e.g. in new product development, client interaction, marketing, or advancing your business profile in the industry.
Sebastien Paquet has been doing research at the intersection of social software, knowledge sharing, and eLearning for the past several years. He has contributed several articles and talks on topics in these areas. His personal weblog, as well as the Many-to-Many group weblog on social software to which he contributes, are influential sources on innovation in web-based communication.
Sebastien received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Universite de Montreal and is a Research Officer for the National Research Council’s Institute for Information Technology in Moncton.
