I imagine many of you are aware of the work Fred Stutzman has been doing in the social media space. His research has been cited in local and international media including the NY Times Magazine, Salon.com, Wired, and NPR. Additionally, Fred is the co-founder of the identity management tool ClaimID. Now, he can add a Webmasters presentation to his long list of accomplishments. 😉

Stutzman will join us for the March meeting and present on the topic “Designing for the next 53 percent”.

According to the Pew Internet and American Life Foundation, 47 percent of online adults participate in social network sites. As social networking moves from a youth-centric phenomenon to being broadly adopted, users, designers and organizations are challenged to manage the complexities of networking at scale. Drawing on case studies and original research, this informal talk will address some of the challenges and opportunities that emerge as social networking is adopted by the next 53 percent.
