> Worldwide, people connect via the web and extend 
> their social communities beyond what could ever 
> have been realized without the web. Denmark 
> globally has one of the highest numbers of users 
> of web-based social networking sites per 
> habitant. Till now, users of web-based social 
> networking and communities have mainly used 
> traditional computers with large screens. For 
> many users, the concept of social networking 
> means always on which sets focus on the trend of 
> being able to do social networking also on smart 
> phones and other smaller screens. The transition 
> from the big screen to the small screen in 
> relation to social networking and communities 
> outlines a number of challenges that the second 
> CMI conference will discuss. Areas to be 
> discussed are: how to secure the privacy for 
> social network users; which are the demands to 
> operators/content providers on the price 
> structure; how can the technological 
> sustainability be secured with the smaller 
> screens; which are the alternative interaction 
> mechanisms to secure that users still have a 
> good user experience; which new types of 
> services will be relevant to mobile devices; how 
> will the different initiatives and services 
> coexist and which demands must be set to the 
> standardization when convergence takes place in this way?
>
> The second CMI conference discusses the demands 
> and challenges set out to the market and the 
> stakeholders; to the technology and the 
> interaction between users and the technology; 
> and the users and their demands to the mobile 
> part of the web-based social networking. CMI
