This week, I've put together a motley collection of 3 presentations that are all quite interesting from the point of view of the changing ways of interaction in different contexts: within communities, between agency and client, and mobile commerce.

Researchers at MIT in the US and the University of Southampton in the UK look into anonymity in online communities, using 4chan as a case study. This is particularly interesting given Fred Wilson's recent blog post on Google's clamping down on anonymous IDs in Google+ and the discussion on whether real IDs are required online, as long as the quality of discussion is good.

Inspired by Oli's post on his experiment with his Instagram photos of our roof terrace and HTML 5 Canvas, this week's presentations are all about HTML 5.

First, Christian Heilmann, web evangelist at Mozilla in London, apoke about HTML 5 and how it is going to play a key role in the web of tomorrow at the Web2Day conference in Nantes, France this month.

This week we're going to focus broadly on social media in our curated presentations. Social media means different things to different people - hopefully between them, these three presentations meet everyone's expectations!

First, David Griner, social media strategist for Luckie & Company and Dave Peck, Director of Community for Meshin at Palo Alto Research Centre, cover some recent social media failures in this presentation, most of which they presented at the Blog World & New Media Expo 2011 last month.  There are some well-known examples like the American Red Cross Twitter faux-pas and the Chrysler one, but some are less well-known and interesting to read about. 

Here are a few interesting presentations on design that I came across recently:

1. Minneapolis-based web design & strategy agency Livefront gave a presentation on design at Minnebar 2011 , a technology and design unconference in Minnesota. In it, they talk about the need to move from 'prescribed' design to 'responsive' design by paying attention to what is happening on the web and mobile.

This week's curated Slideshare presentations are on the theme of customer development and lean startup methodologies. As a company who follows these principles ourselves, it's rather useful to see how they're being used by others, and indeed see if there are interesting new things we can learn and continue to apply to our work. 

Who doesn't like Slideshare presentations with useful information in them? Here are 5 from the last one month or so that I've curated for your viewing pleasure:

Slideshare has been busy overnight putting our presentation through some kind of virtual conversion wringer, and it’s now ready for your enjoyment.

Here’s the presentation that Tim and I presented with our client, Chrissie, in the Digital Strategy Theatre at the NMA Online Marketing Show on Tuesday. It gives an overview of the strategy, approach and working processes we employed within our cross-functional team with BBH andBritvic to create Ready for Ten.

I found this while going through Slideshare over the weekend. It’s a 6-month-old presentation that Charlene Li made at SXSW’09, but with Google launching Sidewiki recently, I thought it would be very useful to re-visit the concept of how a social network is going to change. WithSidewiki, you can write your comments to a post alongside it, and they’ll be ordered according to relevancy, preserved for all time. 

Despite the promotion of Twitter to the ranks of “the great issues of our day”, and 24/7 coverage of new Twitter stories via TV, radio and newspapers, some people (normal, well-adjusted people) still need that basic introduction. What is it? How do I use? and What’s all the fuss about?

So Made By Many, along with BBH Labs, put have put together a presentation that we dusted off today at BBH’s London office to a crowd of excited advertising folks. We’d like to put this presentation out there for the rest of the world, under an Attribution Creative Commons license, for anyone who wants to explain Twitter to colleagues, clients, friends, relatives and their spouse – including the illustrations. Please use them (just give us a credit). We couldn’t find any attractive Twitter iconography – so we made our own: the first in what we hope will become a series.

On Saturday I did a presentation at Ruby Manor on using recommendation systems in production featuring our plugin, acts as recommendable (AAR).
