Hello, Coye Cheshire and I recently (last month) published a book chapter that categorizes online collaborative systems. We focus on the influence of uncertainty about systems and online environments, and primarily use social exchange theory as a theoretical framework: Cheshire, C., and J. Antin. 2009. “Order, Coordination and Uncertainty.” Pp. 266-291 in eTrust: Forming Relationships in the Online World, edited by K. S. Cook, C. Snijders, V. Buskins, and C. Cheshire. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation Publications. --Judd -- Judd Antin PhD Candidate School of Information University of California Berkeley jantin@ischool.berkeley.edu web: http://technotaste.com blog: http://technotaste.com/blog NABETH Thierry wrote:
Dear all,
I have been searching without success a categorisation / toxonomy of online social systems.
I have of course been searching the web but also Science Direct.
For instance blogs, wikis, microbloging, OSN, etc. function differently, and have a different role in the web 2.0. Actually, you can even consider that a web 2.0 solution would be able to combine different mechanisms.
Are you aware of any paper / theory proposing such as categorisation?
Note:
Several papers (including one which I am the coauthor) provide an inventory and a short description of the different types of systems (for instance in education science Procedia in 2009 has a couple of them, and there is a recent report from IPTS Sevilla about usage of Learning 2.0), but they do not really try to make a categorisation in order to compare their characteristics.
Thanks in advance for references you may be aware of something.
Bye,
Thierry
