@paulg how much would you throw at a social platform that was made to aggregate people's presence across the web, not create its own silo? Have any come across your path yet?

@BillSeitz we need new research before it can be applied to real systems. That's what academia does best. Though I'm open to perspective on efficacy of academia on actualized implementation. What's the experience that drives your counterpoint?

@mcneely if it's "web based" does that mean it's hosted on cloud resources? It would be cloud engineering if you're in charge of managing what resources are used and how they are deployed for the web service. But if you are more about app deployment lifecycle you could just say you're web DevOps. Or if you're responsible for a specific backend or frontend service, that's probably your team. If you do it all, then you're some type of convoluted hybrid... Like a platypus

If you're an #academic studying complex collaboration (multiteam, networked and non-hierarchical, interorganizational, group dynamics, etc.) I'd love to talk. Currently looking at doing the deep dive and joining #academia to study the psychology of it.
