3. Think of a social network
that YOU are a member of?
• It could be a group, club, etc.
• What is it’s purpose?
• Why are you a member?
• How do people join?
• Are there ‘rules’ (perhaps unspoken) –
how are they determined?

7. Principles
• Profile based
• Participation/collaboration within a unifying purpose
• Collective knowledge – give and take
• Persistence – asynchronous
• Transparency/visibility – connections & contributions
• Independence – no work flow, no planning
• Emerging/evolving & unpredictable
