III. Social Computing

Social computing is supporting any sort of social behavior in or through computational systems. A much more free form of Knowledge Management, social Computing refers to a shared workspace, less centrally directed. The premise of social computing is that it is possible to design digital systems that support useful functionality by making socially produced information available to their users. Time and by, this has been confused with specific technologies like Web 2.0.
