Social Networking for Group Projects

Social Networks are extremely helpful for collaborative projects, especially where members are involved in many parts of the project.



Having a Facebook lets you share links and images straight away, where people can easily leave comments and feedback. A conversation could be started around something posted on there, and the layout of the site lets you know exactly what that person is commenting/replying to. There are different privacy settings if you only want certain people to be able to find it, and it is easy enough to add or delete people as and when needed.



You can also share/add people to pinterest boards, letting them see every bit of research you are doing (or even pieces of work, although I find a lot less original work on here). A lot of pins are sourced (even though really, they all should be) and that can give you more places to look for research. Again, the adding/inviting settings are easy enough, and the tag system lets you find all manner of things to add.

There are other sites that are useful for sharing work, but these are some of my favorites, especially for the sort of projects I am doing at the moment. I feel like this is a helpful and efficient way of working, especially if you only see some people in the project once or twice a week.
