On REPUTATIONS - Feb 7

First, be reminded of your VOST2011 submission. Read the instructions http://ideasonsocialcomputing.blogspot.com/2011/02/vost-2011-submission.html

Second, form your respective groups.
Consider the synonym of REPUTATION as acceptability, stature, credit, authority, prominence, rank, mark, respectability and others. Reputation is also a very important concept that tells about the identity of the person. (You may read the discussions of S. Duck on the topic of reputations.)

Consider your present interactions in Facebook. Discuss and brainstorm as a group as you discuss the following. Write your answers on a yellow paper.

1. Is there a positive and negative reputation in FB? How are these reflected in FB? Please cite at least 3 instances with corresponding examples. 6pts.)

2. Is reputation important to the members of your group? Get the count and consensus? What is the consensus? Why yes or why no? 2pts.

3. Do you think the Status function is a measure of reputation? Or does Status puts less value on the importance of Reputation as a positive concept in a social network?

4. Is reputation important to the members of the group? Would you give reputation the same value as privacy? Why or why not. Pls write the individual answers on the paper.

Leaders, please submit your papers when your group is finished on the discussion. Thank you.
