DESCRIPTION:Social networking has become a hugely popular Internet service
  and many aspects of it mirror that of pervasive computing.  Twitter (http
 ://www.twitter.com) can be thought of as providing a publish/subscribe ser
 vice for contextual information\, users of Facebook (http://www.facebook.c
 om) update their status to indicate if they are at work or at home (or sin
 gle!).  We presented a position paper at W3C Workshop on the Future of Soc
 ial Networking introducing these parallels to the social networking commun
 ity.  \n\nThis meeting will comprise a presentation on the feedback we got
  from the paper followed by a discussion/brain-storming session on what pe
 rvasive computing might learn from social networking.\n\nAs preparation pl
 ease read the position (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sjeh3/social/) - this sho
 uld only take 5 minutes!
