This document discusses how social media and mobile technologies are changing the landscape of data collection and sharing. Key points discussed include: - Social media tools like Twitter and location-based services allow widespread collection of geotagged data from users. - Mobile devices are becoming the primary way people access and share data. This will impact application development and how information is input and output. - Crowdsourcing of data from many individuals through social media could challenge traditional notions of authoritative data sources and funding models. - New opportunities exist to involve communities and different stakeholders in data collection and decision making in ways not previously possible. Standards and policies may need to change in light of these new technologies and practices.
