The idea of online Communities had a Cambrian explosion in diversity and complexity in the 2000s as new forms of social software emerged both on the Web and inside organizations. Yet, we continue to refer to all of these as social tools or ‘communities’ even though the experiences they afford us and more importantly the purpose they serve are as diverse as physical world cities, cultures and geographies.

This book explains in clear ideas the many components that go into an overall framework that can describe any social experience. By bringing a modeling approach to how we envision collaboration and community, this book helps you set the context for what social experience and social tool types you really want and need, as well as how to design and build your own.
