The Future of Facebook Project by Venessa Miemis - 6part Video Series raises 52% funds in 2 days on Kickstarter

From the site:

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

With over 600 million users and a valuation of over $70 billion, Facebook is the world's dominant social networking platform. What are the challenges a social media company of this size will face? What are the strategic moves it should make? How can Facebook users take advantage of the platform and its increasingly rich social graph?

These are the questions we are addressing with the Future of Facebook video series. Using the STEEP forecasting methodology, we’ll be viewing the challenges and opportunities for this company through the lenses of Society, Technology, Environment, Economics, and Politics. Each of these five categories will become a short focus video that fleshes out that topic area. The final video will be a big picture overview of the potential pathways for the evolution of Facebook.

Interviews are still underway, but here’s a look at who we’ve talked to so far: 

David Armano - SVP, Edelman Digital

Stowe Boyd - futurist, social technologies blogger

Jamais Cascio - ethical futurist, Senior Fellow of the IEET

Amber Case - co-founder Geoloqi

Suzanne Fischer - Curator of Technology, The Henry Ford

Garry Golden - energy and emerging markets futurist....
