xiuli'blog » Blog Archive » (转) 社交網絡的特色:朋友的朋友 - 0 views

  • 社交網絡的資源有隱性與顯性兩種,顯性就是當事人與其創作,隱性就是當事人的最愛、朋友名單和標籤,例如我在slideshare上的帳號是goldred,我的slideshare空間(slidespace)上,不但有我上傳的投影片,還有我的最愛和朋友名單,另外還有我的標籤(tag)區,因為我把最愛當成書籤來使用,累積了一百多個投影片,要逐個檢視很費時間,若透過標籤來搜尋,就可縮小範圍,不但方便,也利人利己。 在真實世界中,我們結交朋友,就只是認識他這個人而已,大家感情好的話,就會常在一起聊聊天、吃飯、唱歌、參加讀書會或旅遊,雖然我們了解他這個人,跟他分享了許多時光,卻不見得非常清楚他內心深處有甚麼想法,有那些創作,或是有些甚麼其他朋友? 在虛擬世界,我們或許沒見過創作者本人,卻讀過好多他的作品,也能藉由科技的協助,看到他的朋友名單和最愛的紀錄,再從中去發掘其他資源,真實與虛擬世界的朋友,我們都需要,兩相對照,既有趣又互補。 像Facebook或Myspace這兩個當紅的社交網絡,都是從高中與大學的校園起家的,以學生為主要參與者,因此他們所強化的是真實世界的人際關係,很多老外讚嘆Facebook的原因,是他們經由Facebook的協助,找到失散多年的同事或同學,但我用Facebook用得很乏味,因為Facebook目前還是英文介面,每個台灣 人的學校或公司翻譯成英文後,可能產生許多版本,就很難以它們為關鍵字,來找到以前的朋友了。 Slideshare或Flickr也很紅,同樣是以物件為中介的第二代社交網絡,他們的運作方式跟facebook卻很不一樣,它協助我們找到現實社會中難以尋覓的人際資源,像我初學攝影,很想觀摩高手的作品,也希望獲得高手的鼓勵,這些需求都在Flickr上獲得滿足,我在Flickr上認識了歐美、南美與日本各地的專家,參加了以花或樹為攝影主題的社群,它透過共同的興趣和網際網路,讓許多原本無緣相見的人能夠連結在一起。 在物質世界中,朋友的東西不見得是我的,在虛擬世界中,只要朋友把它公開,朋友的朋友,就是我的朋友,朋友的最愛,就是我的最愛,「朋友的朋友」和「朋友的最愛」都是讓我們在網路上發現寶藏的好幫手!

好讀推薦:隨意搜尋 Ambient Findability - MMDays - 0 views

  • 2 Responses to “好讀推薦:隨意搜尋 Ambient Findability” on 14 May 2008 at 12:00 pm1Oliver Ding 小容 感谢链接我的blog的贴子:)最近在和一些朋友交流关于社交网络的问题,其中谈到了关于人的可寻性。我的粗浅体会是现在社交网络设计的联系人确认的功能,实际上是在解决在线人际交互的可寻性问题,而不是真正的关系确立。没有可寻性,就没有可用性,这一点也同样适用于在线人际交互,而不仅仅是人和信息。 on 14 May 2008 at 1:49 pm2Mr. Wednesday To 小容: 謝謝你的回應,你點出了一個好問題,人的可尋性。這本書,還有過去的焦點都是關注在物體或是資訊的可尋性,直到社交網路的興起人的可尋性才開始受到注意。Web是在匿名的基礎上建立,或許,就是因為人的可尋性在Web上是無法完全被滿足的,所以才把焦點轉向到人際關係上。 “沒有可尋性,就沒有可用性”,講的真好,可用性才是激發這些進步的最大動力。

Flickr: The Help Forum: [Official Topic] Find Your Friends! - 0 views

  • I didn't find any of my friends using this, but I did find an old account of my own that I had completely forgotten about. For a split second I was like, "how did this person find all those photos of me???" Lol.
  • Any thoughts on the privacy issue I raised above? Revealing information about users shouldn't be something a user has to opt out of. For example some people may not want their co-workers or potential employers to know that they have a flickr account. They should have to opt in instead of opt out. I think this could get ugly for some people who don't want to be found. Also the setting for opting out should be changed. I may want to be found by my flickr buddy name, but just not by the new email address way. There should be a way to leave things the same way they were before. Now I can only opt out of everything or opt in for everything.
  • Proggie: Privacy is something we take very seriously at Flickr. People have actually always been searchable by email address on Flickr (via "People Search"), and we chose to respect our member's existing people search preference settings (as well as make that preference page easier to find). On the opt-out versus opt-in issue, this is something where we carefully weighed the options, and chose the default option based on what we feel would have the greatest benefit for the majority of our members. Just as we chose to make "public" the default for uploaded photos, we chose to preserve opt-out as the default for people search on Flickr.
