Lesson1:Introduction to Social Computing

Lesson1. Introduction to Social Network

Yukari Yamamoto

Think
1. I only know Wikipedia and YouTube. I sometimes use them as researchtools. Typical feature of these kinds of software is that, through thesoftware, everyone can be a sender of information. Also everyone can be arecipient of information. Therefore, in my opinion, an interactivity ofinformation and a multitude of users made social network social.

2. I define network as a connection which exists between linked people.The dimension which makes social network social is the people whoconstitute the group. The people are can constitute the network fromeverywhere in the world. Also everyone can be the member of the group.
ExploreI think the Internet is the quickest way to inform people, so this can be the first social media for many senders to spread out the senders' knowledge.The keyword is visible or hidden relationship, I guess.

Do
Social software is very useful for me because I can get many kinds ofinformation quickly, for free, and at home. However I feel that, since thesoftware consist of ordinary people, it must have dangerousness. I cannotaccept all information which I get through the social software. In orderto get along with social technology, or use it fully, it is good to learnsocial computing.

Yukari, what you have done here is very good quality. Your comment..."an interactivity of information and a multitude of users made social network social" is very nicely phrased and very descriptive of social software. Please be sure to write as good quality answers for all questions, there is some information missing in this case. Grade: C+
