Web(2.0) was made for science
Tim Berners-Lee created the idea of the World Wide Web in 1983
together with Robert Cailliau the WWW was turned into an instrument for
scientific information exchange

Is this the right time to dive into Social Media and Web2.0?
Some researchers are skeptical or feel an aversion to change but … shift happens
Generation C is here

Closed => Open science

Science2.0 is emerging
Look at the wiki of the conference on science blogging.
Or look at The Open Laboratory: a paper book or digital book with great scientific blogposts

Lets digg in
Why scientists embrace Web2.0? Looking at simple applications Diving in collaborative software
Examples galore!

Why? Well, Web2.0 = participation
Sit around the campfire
Narratives + discussions + exchanging expertise
= science = benefits of Social Media
![Page 9: Social Media Benefits For Researchers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062512/5549bfb6b4c905bc6d8b5223/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Social Media = Connections
lifelong learning + latest knowledge + (global) network= science = benefits of Social Media
You and F2F colleagues
You within network of institutional partners
You within your global digital peer network

Web2.0 = (informal) learning
Informal learning + personal content production = science = benefits of Social Media
Social Media gives everyone the means of production - Harold Jarche
Informal learning: definition and image by Jay Cross
You write, you learn => the read and write Web

Web2.0 = personal & collaborative growth
"A single ant or bee isn't smart, but their colonies are. The study of swarm intelligence is providing insights that can help humans manage complex systems, from truck routing to military robots." National Geographic
learning is a process of becoming something (Stephen Downs on How the Net Works).
Wisdom of crowds

One last thing: RSS
Add a feed reader for easy (easier) content follow-up
Syndication, picks up social media content and spreads it throughout the internet where it can be found by anyone looking for that information.
See how it works (commoncraft). Some feed readers:
Bloglines
Google reader

Conclusions: benefits
Social Media gives you:
Network + personal profiling
Narratives + discussions + exchanging expertise
lifelong learning + latest knowledge + (global) network
Informal learning + personal content production
Most of it is web based => accessible from all around the world
=> It is easy, just do it!
