The recent explosive growth of popular social communities such as Flickr.com, YouTube.com and Digg.com has generated much renewed interest on the Internet as a new medium. This new movement is often considered attributable to the Web 2.0 technologies (e.g., Ajax, XML, RSS, and Wiki) and social computing concepts (e.g. blog, tagging, and voting) that make mass user interactions both easy and multi-faceted. They retain the existing ingredients of online community-based communications, such as individual relationship and message-based conversations. At the same time, non-message-based and often collective interactions, e.g., voting and ranking, enrich user communication.
