Article about Social Objects

The link for this article is: http://confusedofcalcutta.com/2008/02/16/musing-about-social-objects-molluscs-that-matter/

This article adds a bit more to the criteria list for Social Objects: Social Objects are natural, not artificial, they're 'live', they're about renaissance, about rediscovering something we used to have before, they're open, and good social objects are rare. It's worth a read!

From the article you linked to: "It is the conversation that makes the object 'social'."

We used to have this argument about learning objects 10 years ago. "It's the educational objective and assessment that make it a learning object" folks would say... Ah, I miss those good old days of arguing about semantics that really didn't matter. =)
