SWOT

__ Strengths __
 * Users will own their own content, not UNTHINK
 * Users will be able to control four different information streams (public, social, lifestyle, and professional) from one site
 * Users are considered "owners", and their information cannot be deleted by UNTHINK
 * UNTHINK will not degrade the users' experience by through ads or spyware
 * UNTHINK offers users/owners several Emancipation Covenants that outline the rights of the users

__ Weaknesses __
 * Since this is a new site, there is no guarantee UNTHINK will live up to its promises
 * Many schools have already prohibited students and faculty to use social media sites on school property
 * Many schools have implemented policies prohibiting teachers to communicate with their students via social networking sites

__ Opportunities __
 * A venue for an exchange of ideas and collaboration
 * Appears to offer all of the benefits of other social networking sites with none of the negatives

__ Threats __
 * Students may access non-school related material instead of using the suite for school-related communication and collaboration

 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Students and teachers could communicate or collaborate on something using one of the information streams (perhaps public or professional)
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Students could include UNTHINK in their personal learning environments, using the suite to contact experts, resources, etc.
