> 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?
