Talk:Social network service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This category is more specific than social software. But these things don't only do "social networking" (what networking isn't "social" anyway? that is a bad thing to link to), they do email and chat and blogs also. There's over 300 of them now, so it's time to have one article about their common features and problems.
Including the fact that few will survive their coming shakeout.
- Computer networking is not social when machines share information with other machines in an automated way.Mamawrites 10:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
I am thinking about either expanding this article with the social networking services that IBM and Micrcosoft are planning to sell to enterprise customers as well as adding some of the smaller niche software vendors; or, I would create an entirely new article. Being that these types are services are only a few months old, the issues I would of course have is that not much information is availabe besides corporate press releases. Any idea of what to reference besides bloggers of dubious credibility?
[edit] list of social neworks

I think it is best to have it as a category, so that it would automatically updated as new pages about sites are added. Alex Kosorukoff 20:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A history section would be nice.

[edit] Source edit warnings
Hi. As is permissible with spam-vulnerable articles and lists in Wikipedia, I have inserted source edit warnings regarding external linking to the article main body and the "See also" section.

- This does not include the recently added "References" section - as long as links are relevant to the information added in the body of the article of course. Refsworldlee(chew-fat)(eds) 23:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
