+“blogs, from communicative to connective artifacts”
+
+cannot reduce blogs to texts; when we do, we miss some of their most interesting aspects
+
+web 1.0 — social bounded settings: MUD, chat, newsgroup — interactions; public spaces, in which text and technology are detached; social interactions through text and images separated from technologies
+
+social software — not just text and images; communication not separated from technology
+
+what else is there beyond text and image? (social interactions in blogs)  
+  
+— a blogger introduces a hyperlink to my blog  
+  
+— my blog detects the link  
+  
+— my blog sends me a notification  
+  
+— the trackback mechanism generates a cross-link  
+  
+the system generates the connection
+
+blogs are more than text and images; they are a connecting infrastructure, too
+
+a post is not just a piece of text, but also infrastructure; links created by system; conversations that take place through links — not just text
+
+infrastructure does the work of establishing social interactions

+“social software: facilitating information-, identity- and relationship management”
+
+what is social software? — change question to how do people use social software, and how do we study social software use?
+
+social software is not new: chart of “the rise of citizen media”
+
+analytical framework — uses of social software governed by rules, codes; result in relations
+
+rules are generalizabel schemata for action (“social scripts”), guiding situational performance by providing shared expectations based on both previous actions and generalized knowledge  
+  
+— adequacy rules — what format is suitable?  
+  
+— procedural rules
+
+relations can be hypertextual (links) or social (ties)
+
+code allows or restricts certain actions, but is not fixed or stable or deterministic; actual use of social software is embedded in social practices  
+  
+— production of technologies (how designers expect it to be used)  
+  
+— appropriation of technologies (includingplayful or unwanted uses)
+
+rules frame situative use  
+  
+code facilitates situative use  
+  
+relations are produced/maintained by situative use  
+  
+but: relations are prerequisite for obtainment of gratification
+
+questions: am I missing anything here? are there more structural dimensions? is there more to social software than info mgt, identity mgt, and relationship mgt? where does gender come into the picture?
