Social and Communicative Aspects of Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs)


[edit] What is social about the Social Web/Web 2.0?

9/6/07

share things more easily
interaction of people from different backgrounds and cultures
specifically social - geared toward particular interests
free
copyright
many configurations of interaction - many to many
depth of social information available
identity - anonymous or be yourself? (what do we mean by identity? what do we mean by yourself?)
breaking down the barriers to social interaction? or building barrier - how do you choose to express yourself on the web?
identity - projecting who we want to be
online vs. offline identity - online/offline identity - socially situated nature of interaction
gender, race, appearance - no one can tell you're a dog on the internet
space - keep in touch with distant friends - reducing physical distance
social - collaborative and participatory
time - real time vs asynchronous - compression of space/time? - consequences of product of collaborative work?
competition - point systems - building credit through participation - race to see who can add more friends first - what does friend mean?
personal aspect of social - sense of belonging - avenue for social participation
different media contribute to what makes the web social (different avenues for participation)
negative aspects? dependency?
democratic nature of the web? hierarchies among blogs. or should the web reflect life? access and power - net neutrality


themes: online/offline, social macro and social personal level
