This course consists of three parts, part I is the foundation for parts II and III, parts can be taken separately.

Day 1: I. How to Be an Efficient (Online) Networker

Part I is for everybody who would like to learn how they can be more efficient in their online and face-to-face networking.

Day 2: II. Coolhunting

Part II is for the power user who would like to learn how to apply Social Network Analysis to discover and predict emergent trends on the Web by mining Twitter, Blogs, Facebook, Wikipedia and the Web at large. Coolhunting means finding new trends by finding the trendsetters before anybody else, by tapping into the collective intelligence on the Web, and interpreting it through dynamic semantic social network analysis.

Day 3: III. Coolfarming

Part III builds on the basics from part II, it shows you how you can develop new trends through self-organizing teams (Coolfarming) by nurturing COINs (Collaborative Innovation Networks), and how you can better advertise your products on the Web through viral marketing using Twitter, Facebook, and Wikipedia.

This is a revised and condensed version of a distributed course, which has been taught for the last 8 years at MIT, Helsinki, Cologne, and Savannah. (http://sites.google.com/site/coincourse2012/)
