Synopsis Technological Convergence and Social Networks in Information Management by : Serap Kurbanoglu
“Convergence” is defined as the intertwinement of species or technologies. “Tech- logical convergence,” on the other hand, refers to a trend where a single product such as a cell phone, used in the past solely for communication, evolves into a product that functions not only as a communication device but incorporates the distinct function- ities of a number of other technologies, thereby enabling users to take pictures, listen to music, access the Web, send and receive e-mail messages, find their way, and so on, equally successfully. Social networks such as Facebook, YouTube, MySpace and LinkedIn, where users congregate, discuss certain issues, entertain themselves, and share information in t- tual, audio and video formats, are among the most frequented web sites. Social networks having Web 2. 0 features offer personalized services, allowing users to - corporate their own content easily and describe, organize and share it with others, thereby enriching users’ experience. More often than not, a capable cell phone is all you need to get access to such social networks and carry out all those tasks. Such tools tend to change our private, social and professional lives and blur the boundaries among them. In other words, our private, social and professional lives are converging, too: someone using a cell phone could be communicating with his/her friend(s), accessing information services, taking an exam using a learning management system, or conducting business.

Synopsis The Virtual Community, revised edition by : Howard Rheingold
Howard Rheingold tours the "virtual community" of online networking. Howard Rheingold has been called the First Citizen of the Internet. In this book he tours the "virtual community" of online networking. He describes a community that is as real and as much a mixed bag as any physical community—one where people talk, argue, seek information, organize politically, fall in love, and dupe others. At the same time that he tells moving stories about people who have received online emotional support during devastating illnesses, he acknowledges a darker side to people's behavior in cyberspace. Indeed, contends Rheingold, people relate to each other online much the same as they do in physical communities. Originally published in 1993, The Virtual Community is more timely than ever. This edition contains a new chapter, in which the author revisits his ideas about online social communication now that so much more of the world's population is wired. It also contains an extended bibliography.

Synopsis Social Networks: Role of Personalization and Interaction in Virtual Community for Enhancing Business by : Nisha Maguluru
"There is limited research in applying social network concepts to design or construct a virtual community, in enhancing member participation and interaction through personalization, and in monitoring, measuring, and tracking the performance of the virtual community. Therefore, the main objectives of this research are to address these research gaps through: (1) Applying the social network concepts and design principles of virtual communities to promote and structure social interaction among the users to stimulate commerce and collaboration activities, to promptly disseminate linkage between discovery and societal benefits of knowledge and wealth creation, and consequently enhance business networks of the community members. (2) Recommending essential personalization and interaction features in a social network based virtual community that would attract the users to participate in the network ties to improve interactivity that in turn improves opportunities for creation of social capital. (3) Proposing a Balanced Scorecard framework to monitor and articulate the value the community delivers through user interaction and participation in a social network based virtual community to assess the performance of the network and suggest improvements"--Abstract, leaf iv.
