While doing research for a recent workshop, I came across a useful list of seven social software elements. These seven building blocks--identity, presence, relationships, conversations, groups, reputation and sharing--provide a good functional definition for social software. They're also a solid foundation for thinking about how social software works. The original list was assembled by Matt Webb (who was expanding on a list created by Stewart Butterfield). Here's a brief definition of each element: Identity - a way of uniquely identifying people in the system Presence - a way of knowing who is online, available or otherwise nearby Relationships - a way of describing how two users in the system are related (e.g. in Flickr, people can be contacts, friends of family) Conversations - a way of talking to other people through the system Groups - a way of forming communities of interest Reputation - a way of knowing the status of other people in the system (who's a good citizen? who can be trusted?) Sharing - a way of sharing things that are meaningful to participants (like photos or videos)

The original list was assembled by Matt Webb (who was expanding on a list created by Stewart Butterfield). Here's a brief definition of each element:

Identity - a way of uniquely identifying people in the system
Presence - a way of knowing who is online, available or otherwise nearby
Relationships - a way of describing how two users in the system are related (e.g. in Flickr, people can be contacts, friends of family)
Conversations - a way of talking to other people through the system
Groups - a way of forming communities of interest
Reputation - a way of knowing the status of other people in the system (who's a good citizen? who can be trusted?)
Sharing - a way of sharing things that are meaningful to participants (like photos or videos)

Not every social software system has all of these, but most of them have three or more.
