"O GACSUM - Grupo de alunos de Comunicação Social da Universidade do Minho - é uma associação juvenil sem fins lucrativos criada em 1994 e reconhecida oficialmente pelo Registo Nacional de Associações Juvenis. Em Abril, o grupo realiza a actividade mais importante do ano: as XII Jornadas de Ciências da Comunicação. A presente carta tem por objectivo convidá-lo para o papel de orador no painel de Multimédia, a acontecer no dia 22 de Abril (quarta-feira). De acordo com os seus estatutos, o GACSUM procura promover o curso de Ciências da Comunicação. Para o efeito, ao longo do ano, realiza várias actividades ligadas aos temas de interesse para o curso. Mas não releva a importância de uma iniciativa central que permita o debate entre o mundo académico e o trabalho do profissional de comunicação, pois entendemo-lo como um passo importante para evolução do nosso campo de saber. Por isso, o GACSUM organiza anualmente as Jornadas de Ciências da Comunicação da Universidade do Minho. Este ano, o tema de cartaz escolhido pelos alunos foi: "Comunicar com Pedras no Sapato". O debate está marcado para os dias 21 e 22 de Abril. Nas XII Jornadas de Ciências da Comunicação, de uma forma geral, o objectivo é perceber as manobras de contorno à ética através de algumas estratégias, a sua legitimidade e como funciona a regulação nessa matéria. Temos contacto com o seu trabalho e conhecemos o valor que lhe é atribuído. Assim vimos, por este meio, convidá-lo a participar como orador nas XII Jornadas de Ciências da Comunicação no painel "Estás online para que vida?". O futuro passa pela multimedialidade. Cada vez mais o individuo se isola numa segunda realidade, online. Nas XII Jornadas de Ciências de Comunicação levantamos a questão da aproximação entre as duas realidades. Que regras existem nas redes sociais? Qual a influência da rede na vida real de cada um? Qual é, no fundo, a vida real? A frustração virtual pode significar uma morte real? A discussão, neste painel, pretende abrir caminho para um melhor entendimento do nosso futuro e perceber, ao certo, para que vida estamos online. Será com prazer que o receberemos na nossa universidade. Na certeza de que a iniciativa constitui uma experiência valorosa para ambas as partes, comprometemo-nos a suportar todas as despesas (transporte, alimentação e, caso seja necessário, alojamento)."

Google Should Offer To Buy Twitter For $1 Billion
If Google isn't in talks to buy Twitter, it should be. Specifically, it should offer the company $1 billion, cash. Why? Five reasons:
Google needs a huge new growth engine and Twitter might just fit the bill. The current search product cycle is coming to an end. Google needs an "Office" to go with its "Windows." It hasn't found one yet. Twitter--and real-time search--could end up being a monster. If Google waits around to see whether it really WILL be a monster, Twitter will be a hell of a lot more expensive. Remember when Yahoo's Terry Semel whiffed on buying Google?
Twitter is a hell of a lot more relevant to Google's business than other big Google ideas, such as YouTube or Larry Page's plan to have Google solve the world's energy crisis (see his crazy talk of two years ago). Twitter is also about communications, which is the one part of the content-communications-and-commerce Internet tripod that Google is still weak in.
$1 billion is couch change for Google. Google generates $1 billion of cash every two months. If Twitter ends up being worth $0, as some people persist in thinking, Google can just say "oops" and take a minor write-off. If Twitter ends up being worth a lot more than $1 billion, however, as we and others think is likely, Google will make money. If it ends up being a monster, Google will make a lot of money.
Twitter could conceivably threaten Google's cash cow--search. This "real-time search" meme is actually a compelling story-line. If you want to know what people are talking about right now, you go to Twitter, not Google. Twitter hasn't figured out how to make bank off that yet, but it may well do so. Remember how much ridicule was heaped on Google's worthless "search engine" in the early days?
Like Google, Twitter is already a verb. What company do you know of that owns two verbs?
Would $1 billion be enough to get the Twitter boys to part with their baby? It might, actually. $1 billion is still a lot of money, especially for a company with no revenue. And Google's global distribution and technology infrastructure would be a help to Twitter. So they'd be silly not to take the offer seriousy.
