Week 10 Chapter 8
Social Computing
In this week's lesson, we discussed how social computing is a type of IT that combines social behaviour and information systems to create a digital social context that has value. Web 2.0 is a popular word that has been difficult to define. It is a dynamic digital environment that fosters user participation, collaboration, and information sharing through interactive and interconnected online platforms. Web 2.0 features include AJAX, Tagging, Really Simple Syndication (RSS), Blogs and many more.
A key point we talked about was social computing in business: shopping. Social shopping is transforming how we shop online, combining the power of social networks with e-commerce. Shoppers may easily interact, discuss recommendations, and obtain user evaluations through platforms such as The Iconic and BuyFruit.com.au. Brands like Maui Jim are using social reviews to boost customer trust and sales. Shopping is evolving into a collaborative experience driven by community interaction and shared insights.
