ABSTRACT
Participating in face-to-face events can be intense experiences in which people invest part of themselves. The socially intense experience is often a catalyst for new thoughts and reflections, some of which will be exchanged during the event itself, while others continue to mature afterwards. This article discusses the possibilities and gives an example -- Blog On The Spot - from a recently finished project on waste, on how a social event could be extended by participation in social media on the web. The extension provides the possibility of overcoming some of the limitation of a face-to-face encounter, e.g. limitations in time and participation. At the same time -- as the example shows -- the use of social media in co-design is challenging. Finally, the article will reflect on the experience with the idea of extending the social encounters with social media-platforms in relation to future work.
