A new definition of social software...

Posted August 19, 2003 10:47 AM.

Can I just recommend The Devil's Dictionary 2.0? There's a particularly insightful definition of social software:

social software, noun
Any arbitrary collection of algorithms, protocols and metadata that allows friendless agoraphobics to pretend otherwise. "I’m having trouble deciding which node in my social software network I’m going to ask to the e-prom."
