Designing online social networks: The theories of social groups

Online communities (facilitated by Web 2.0) have become very important over the past few years - not only to niche communities, but now to mainstream brands. Social networking is about human connection and links between people. The reasons why people join groups and social networks are typically that groups can: Provide encouragement and support Establish identity with others and fulfil the need to feel included Provide the outlet for some people to establish their need for recognition, social status, control and/or leadership Alternatively, provide the necessary control over aspects of lives for those who don't want to be leaders (e.g. Weight Watchers) Help establish friends, relationships and the opportunity to interact with others Historically group membership has served an evolutionary survival function - put simply, there's safety in numbers There's been much research into group psychology but not so much about how this applies to a marketer trying to m...

Mình mở cái topic này nhằm mục đích đem lại 1 tí những vấn đề hay trong môn Phân tích thiết kế hệ thống thông tin. Có lẽ đối với nhiều bạn, đây là một chủ đề nặng về Lý thuyết, và thường "dễ gây buồn ngủ". Nói chung nếu cái thú vị nằm ở chỗ bạn thật sự có đam mê với nó không hay thui ? nếu bạn có đam mê và hiểu được nó, thì bạn sẽ thấy cái hay trong đó. Giống như việc chơi cơ, mình thấy nó cuốn hút nhiều bạn đến mức có hẳn 1 hội cờ trong khoa mình. Nói lòng vòng mục đích chính là gây 1 tí cú hit trong việc thảo luận về các đề tài trong Database.

Thật sự đây là vấn đề khó, vì nếu bạn nào học về phân tích thiết kế hệ thống thì xác định quy tắc quản l...
