soooooo ....
Social [ web2.0] software has two key attributes that could be
considered meaningful to educators:
Permits communication between groups and individuals – In this sense,
social software serves as a medium or channel that supports an
exchange, or an ecology where people, practices, and values connect,
interact, and evolve (Suter et al., 2005).
Enables the aggregation and sharing of resources -- Social software not
only allows people to collect, communicate, and collaborate online, it
allows data, information, and objects to be combined and consolidated,
serving as a place where both ideas and people can converge.

In terms of social software’s impact on teaching and learning, Mejias


(2005) suggests that social software’s
true potential lies in helping us figure out how to integrate our online and
offline social experiences. Thus, social so"ware must live up to its name by
relating to the individual's everyday social practices, which include interacting
with people online as we$ as people without access to these technologies….
[S]ocial so"ware can positively impact pedagogy by inculcating a desire to
reconnect to the world as a whole, not just the social parts that exist online.
