Online Communities: Approaches, Principles, Dilemmas
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Online communities mediated by computer facilitate the gathering and the group interaction throughout social support, information and the feeling of belonging. The social interaction areas created by technologies that allow users to interact with other groups assure the consolidation of social networks. The design and the development of interactive systems should be concerned with two important aspects: usability and sociability. When the group interest is in contradiction with the personal interest a new tension is created, a tension whose negative effects can not be neglected due to their implications on the group level. In the present article we analyze the design principles of online communities on grounds concerning the usability and sociability requests.
