Editor's Notes
Social computing is a term with many meanings. We refer to social computing as the natural evolution of collaboration: a shift from a focus on content to a focus on people. The power of social computing lies with the users and the communities. Organizations obtain business value from the experiences and ideas produced through the use of these collaboration technologies that are modeled after natural social behavior. The common term for such technologies on the Internet is Web 2.0, and, in the enterprise setting, Enterprise 2.0.
