Mark Zuckerberg's Treasure Trove: Facebook's Social Graph. Learn How to Mine It. TouchGraph's visualization for Facebook Everyone's talking about...the "social graph." Brad Fitzpatrick, Dave Winer, Dave McClure... Mark Zuckerberg, boy wonder of Facebook, successfully created a lasting network between (virtual) friends at Harvard and other Ivy League instituions beginning 2004. Little did I know at the time, but Facebook was going to become my everything: friend space, organization tool, event planner and now, a travel guide. In short, Facebook is my portal, a portal for physical and virtual relationships/information. The "social graph,"as Zuckerberg called it at the unveiling of the f8 platform, is the glue that holds the "it" website together. However, funny enough, no one has truly understood and mined Facebook's treasure trove. Here's where our workshop comes into play:

Animation Workshop - Come create your own characters and short film!Please note: Personal laptops are required for the animation workshop
Animation, the illusion of movement on film, can take many forms. From carefully painted cel-animation to elaborately rigged 3D computer-generated, painstakingly slow stop-motion to the techno wonder of motion capture, animation transcends reality. Now, more than ever,the wonder of this art-form continues to inspire and entertain, and the animation industry is red hot.
Join animation leader Uri Shinar, Claymation animator Rony Oren for what promises to be a lot of fun.In this workshop we'll have 2 sessions: First session:

Web Usability WorkshopIt is surprising how many web sites and web applications never undergo usability testing before they are launched. A couple of years ago one well-known UK company commissioned testing on their web site which had been live for several years - the results were so bad they withdrew permission for the test recordings to be used for training purposes. You may have heard of usability testing and you may know what it is, but have you ever seen it being done? In this workshop you'll get a chance to take part in a usability test, either as the person running the test or the person taking the test. Or if you prefer, just observe the tests. We'll compare the results from two well-known competitor websites and discuss the significance of any common mistakes we find. If you'd like to take participate in the testing, please bring along a laptop with wireless connectivity. Duration: about 60 minutes Add your name (and home country) here to?join this discussion:
Tin Foil Hat Making CompetitionLed by the artistically disabled but nevertheless enthusiastic Rob Stokes. Some background: For the full explanation, read the wikipedia article, but in a nutshell many conspiracy theorists, geeks and the paranoid have long believed that the wearing of a tin or aluminium foil hat will shield the brain from electro magnetic forces, alien interference and of course mind reading by nasty old big brother. In keeping with this tradition and with the slightly geeky nature of Stream, we will be holding a tin foil making competition. The Process? All materials will be provided and points will be awarded for effectiveness (at keeping the undesirable forces at bay), originality, craftsmanship, durability and speed of construction. The winner will get to nominate a person who has to wear the winning tin foil hat for the rest of the day. Awesome! Here is a pic from a previous competition which was held at Kinnernet. As you will see, their efforts were slightly less than exemplary and we aim to achieve a far better standard of design and effectiveness at Stream 07.  So there we have it. Look forward to having you all there and seeing the creation of many metallic masterpieces. Warning: Rob Stokes is good at being an eMarketing geek and is truly untalented when it comes to arts and crafts. Anyone who has hands capable of making things that don't always look like garbage... now is the time to get involved. Add your name (and home country) here to?join this discussion:
Slack Rope Walking
It is great fun when you walk on a rope that is hanged in the air between two trees. In this workshop you will receive the basics of how to walk on a rope. What is needed: We will learn slack rope and not tight rope; for this the only equipment needed is just a rope, which I will bring, so it means that each one of the participants will be able to continue practicing, later, at home. Here is an idea that I feel is true:
Sailing - real or virtualLed by Nic Fulton
We'll meet on the beach. If there are no boats, then no experience necessary, if we find boats, then we'll need a skipper per boat to keep things safe... Sign up below to express an interest so we can begin to gauge numbers...

Workshops 
Led by Ron Atazky.
We're by the sea, and there is due to be plenty of wind, and there might even be some boats. (If not we can pretend to sail, and learn about tacking, jibing, beating and reaching.)
