Social software

Definition
Social software is

"a range of software tools which allow users to interact and share data with other users, primarily via the web. Blogs, wikis, social networking sites, such as Facebook and Flickr, and social bookmarking sites, such as Delicious, are examples of some of the tools that are being used to share and collaborate in educational, social, and business contexts. The key aspect of a social software tool is that it involves wider participation in the creation of information which is shared."
