What Is a Content Collabora/ve?
• A content collabora/ve is a user-‐driven website that expands and grows based on the needs of its par/cipants.
• NASATalk focuses on providing professional communica/ons that differ from prosocial networks like Facebook and MySpace. Perhaps the term “procial networking”* can help dis/nguish what we are trying to accomplish: – Providing a forum that makes it easy to hear from and respond
to our community’s needs, ideas, and feedback.
*Term first used on NASATalk by Bob Starr. Share your comments.
