Second Post for Lecture 4-5


After having 2 more lectures, I learn more about Social Network. We have Social Media, Blogoshere and Social multimedia computing.

Social Media
In the world of Web 2.0, people share information on the internet. This facilitates interactions between people in social network. By making use of social media, people become easier to read information and share resource under Web 2.0.

Blogoshere
 People write blog to share information. If blogs are connected together to create a network, the bloggers form an online community. These kind of online community is very useful. Bloggers can share information in the network. Company also can prompt their product or find out potential client in the social network.

Social multimedia computing
Social multimedia computing makes the social network become more interactivity. Interaction-driven social networks become a major research topic of social network.. 

Direct Social Content Creation
 When we talk about Direct Social Content Creation, the most poplar web site is Wikipedia. Most of the people will think about Wikipedia firstly as an example of Direct Social Content Creation. Wikipedia allows users to create any kind of information. All users can write the content, edit and add recourse and relevant links. However, I think Direct Social Content Creation is everywhere in social network, such as Facebook, Blog, etc… 

After I shared some new or links in my Facebook, my friends may share their opinions on the same topic. We are writing some content on the same topic. It just like Direct Social Content Creation in Wikipedia. The difference is we only share the content to my friends inside Facebook instead of public in the internet. We cannot edit the format in Facebook like Wikipedia. However, the idea of creating the same content is the same. 

I wrote about Direct Social Content Creation in this article of my blog. After several people left comment to discuss Direct Social Content Creation on my article, we created an article about Direct Social Content Creation. The format of my article and comment is different from Wikipedia, but the idea is the same.
We can find that Social Network makes use of Direct Social Content Creation. Or we can say that our Social Network is also made up of Direct Social Content Creation.

4 comments:

  1. Direct Social Content Creation is a great breakthrough in the information age. Besides Wiki, YouTube, Facebook are also typical examples of Direct Social Content Creation.

  2. Under the web 2.0, we can easily share information in the social networking site. I think it become more and more popular in this ten years. Information is sharing easily on mobile phone as well. Many news and knowledge are shared just a click. Notification will show on mobile phone once someone replied your message. More interaction actions within each others. We are closely connected.

  3. I read a paper from internet about the sharing, liking:there are a few things you need to remember about Facebook sharing functionality:Sharing with everyone means that people outside Facebook might see your update;“Sharing” and “Liking” have been merged in one functionality;Manual sharing is preferable (automatic sharing is flawed; if you, for example, choose to share your feed automatically via notes, the users won’t be able to go the the original article). That is to say, we use the social networking to break the barrier of the differenct groups with different backgrounds. I think it is a better trends for the knowledge and science.
