Gained knowledge and some sharing


We have been learning social network for around four weeks now.
In the first three weeks, we get to understand social network gradually. We define social network and realize that social network is not simply a communication platform. It contains so much information that it has much function including social computing etc for instance. We have various social experiences when we are in different social networks acting as different roles. Knowledge about memory as well as cognition is new to me to some degree when they are used in social network.
I got some new knowledge about the genre of the social network during the learning. I thought that only the Facebook, Twitter, Renren, Weibo and that kind are social network. I didn’t realize recruitment websites or witkey websites are also social networks. And I would like to recommend some useful websites here since we all prepare to work now.
http://www.zhubajie.com/ is my favorite witkey website in Chinese mainland. And we also have http://www.witkeysky.com/html/index.html , http://www.taskcn.com/ and http://www.vikecn.com/ etc.
And we can not only find jobs in the Career Planning and Development Centre of our school. http://jijis.org.hk and http://www.jiujik.com/jshome_b5.html are also the local websites to find jobs in Hongkong. This information is what I would like to share.
Besides, information flood in this era, what and how can we select to read and accept is the most important issue that I concern. And how can we pick out the right information for our decisions to base since there is so much in the social network.
The answer is about the cognition in my opinion. We should collect data, come up with the information and form our knowledge basing on the information we get.
Epistemic cognition is the third level of cognition which can solve this question to some degree. It is also the highest level that led to construction of new knowledge. People share with or learn from the others to produce new knowledge. It is also a process to convince oneself. Epistemic cognition is built on the true beliefs and former knowledge of individuals. After making sure the certainty and sources of knowledge, people start to do analysis and justifications. After this process, they get their own new knowledge. They choose the information and knowledge they trust and make the final decision. They will surely not accept all what they have received. So we should keep thinking while reading especially when we are surfing in the social networks.
If you has any thoughts about this blog, I welcome you to give me more different ideas and information.

  1. yeah, I also concern about how do we select the right information from the huge "data world".You mention the importance of epistemic cognition, which I agree with.You can find my opinion @ fengyimingcuhk.blogspot.com/
    Here is my question: in my situation, we just browse the pages for fun, what can be done by social network websites to catch more users and put them on epistemic cognition level?

    1. I always admire those data mining engineers who know what, how and where to get the information they need. One of my ex-roommate can find the highest cost performance place to eat. She always can get the first-hand materials about preferential and discount. It is benefit from the social network.
      Here comes to your question. People may be more interested in video, funny pictures and useful information. If you keep improving your website and make it a very useful website, many fixed surfers will come to your website. I mean the brand name of your website. You can add some interesting discussions or surveys as you have just done a few days before to make surfers to think on a epistemic cognition level. Some encourages or rewards may stimulate the participation of the surfers. Or you can ask the surfers to leave the message about what they want to know. And you promise to help them.
      Of course, these are all my personal opinions.

  3. Yes,I agree with you about the opinion of epistemic knowledge.I also think that Epistemic cognition is the third level of cognition which can solve this question to some degree. It is also the highest level that led to construction of new knowledge. People share with or learn from the others to produce new knowledge. It is also a process to convince oneself.

    1. Before you produce new knowledge, you may have your own criterion to justify whether the message or knowledge is right or not and whether it is suitable for you in my opinion.

  4. Thanks for sharing your programming experience of exploring MSDN, I think it is very useful for you and us.MSDN dose really a useful tool for programmer to learn new things. On the MSDN forum, different people from totally different countries could have a platform to discuss and help each other. All of these go to the amazing power of social networking.
