06/20/2006  ·  9:00am  >  10:30am
Location: Langdell South

Humans, like other social species, are very good at transmitting and reading social signals. What are the social signals of the Web? How can cheaters and free riders be detected? How can trust be built and what kinds of sanctions are the most effective for building trust? Are there examples from social networks and online communities?
