Thesis Presentation Message Board Wiki
Network Connections is an analysis of social software that attempts to turn online introductions into offline interactions. By mapping the functionality of three case studies -- Friendster, Ryze and Meetup -- to the characteristics of successful group and community interaction, Network Connections tries to draw conclusions about which design decisions best suit that purpose.
