I believe that it is quite apparent that one of my favorite podcast is EdTechWeekly. In this podcast, they talk about a program were it webs together all items that connect people. You can use your Facebook account, e-mail, twitter and just about anything. Once webbed, they create these clusters or nodes. It color coordinates the nodes so that it is easier to identify the groups. They talked about going to a first time conference where they learned about this program. He stated that 100 people were here at the conference and they listened to 15 presentations a day. It was talked about using this program at learning analytics to look at at-risk students. The draw back from this program is that everyone using it has to use it the same. If they change how and why the use it for, it will mess up everything. The nodes will not be connected the same as before. To me, this sounds like a good program once the kinks get worked out.
