Operating Manual for Social Tools: sociability first, technology second

Operating Manual for Social Tools: sociability first, technology second

Interesting posting from danah boyd with which I fully agree.

An extract:
No longer can we simply study how the user interacts with the tool, but instead we must consider how people interact with each other and how the tool plays a part in that interaction. Note: people, not users. The tool is not a primary actor in sociability, but a tool that mediates. People should not be framed in terms of the tool, but the tool framed in terms of their use.

What I like about Blogs and Wikis

What I particularly apreciate is extremely and seamlessly integrated
authoring environement.
Actually, I do not like to think in term of authoring an environment:
It is of the nature of any environment to change and to be transformed.

If we take some analogy, modifying a web page should not be considered
as transforming the walls, but just moving or adding some piece of furniture.

I believe that many technical people still have to understood this.
