In reading "Building the Bridges" by Parker, Cross one of the intersting things that I came across is the "persona book " (consiting of people, photos, job description, hobbies etc.) that was employed to introduce the workers relationship both on a personal and professional level. Now we all really are familiar with such information like this.
As far as our trust goes, does it really matter?
Well...I certainly think it absolutely does. Trust plays an important role between you and your co-worker (s). The reason being is that if you have established a relationship with someone, and now you and this individual are working on a big project. You really have to make acertain that you can count on this individual in order to complete the intended project. i.e you really need to count on someone when he/she agrees that this is to be done this and this day and at this and this time. Otherwise, if that cannot be accomplished you cannot longer depend and trust you co-worker as it might have an impact on yourself.
It is sort of like a group project in college, where you have members that each were assigned a certain topic but were not able to complete it in a timely fashion. This is where trust would break apart and you no longer would work with some of the team members more likely because you received a grade "C" as opposed to an "A".

Why take Social and Networking class (ITEC 333)?
Well...One of the most interesting and exciting things you will be doing in this class is connecting with, could be your workers or just your friends. In other words "NETWORKING". If you have never ever (which I do not assume) used facebook and myspace, well this will be the class that you will explore and learn more.
What really makes this class so interesting and fun at the same time is the CLASS DISCUSSIONS and LAB ACTIVITIES. You will learn a lot...considering that you will be dealing with a very knowledgeable and skillfull professor who worked for Oracle as the VIP and has a great amount of experience.

Is government open to opinions of its people?
In the article "How the Web PoloraziedPolitics"
(http://www.cioinsight.com/article2/0,1540,2052119,00.asp),
Debra D'Agostino holds an interview with Gerry McGovern along with series of questions. Gerry McGovern is an author of several books such as The Caring Economy, The Content Critical, though his focus is primarily relied on "how internet shapes government interactions with its citizens-and vice versa."
As the CIO Insight Asserts: With all this talk about Web 2.0 and shared, open networks, why isn't the government more transparent and open to opinions of its people?
Well as the article points out, there aren't many blogs on government websites and the big reasons behind is that Government comes up with a policy and issues it, but doesn't like being questioned since "questioning makes their lives more difficult".
Along the same line, my point of view is that when it comes for taxation, citizens do have to pay for what they owe...So in a way government should be open to opinions (bloggin or other means) of its people unless they have their hands full of problems that have to be addressed.

Very Intelligent Guy...visit him @asktom.oracle.com
Well...For meeting Tom the first time, he seems like the ordinary fella... as a matter of fact, this guy is really, really Intelligent. I trully have had the pleasure of listening Tom's great presentations to the class about online "Social Networking" where he has been since the beginning.
Tom mentions that he reads lots of publication every morning to absorb as much knowledge as possible. I thought that was quite fascinating being able to catch up on all of it, as one needs to have a lot of time in order to do that.
One of the most interesting thing I found is where he talkes about pitfalls of blogging, such as thratened lawsuites where this guy tried to sue him over something he expressed his idea about. Even more interesting is where the same guy tries to sue him again, but this time from Australia. I haven't really grasped the entire conversation, but from what I heard Tom was explaining to us apparently Australia has different laws than the US, so this guy goes to Australia to sue Tom over what he expressed about.
The outcome of this was that this guy loses of course since Tom, being popular and smart at the same time working for Oracle-big corporation with offices almost all around the world, not to mention the lawyers who have helped and represented Tom in this matter.
Lastly, Tom had to protect himself against this...In the end, it was about the importance of his name and reputation.
