Communication and Collaboration

Social network service (SNS) users could share information easier, faster, and being widely used more than the past because of its function such as ‘share’ button on Facebook and ‘retweet’ one on Twitter. Those functions develop communication among users. For example, most companies create their web pages on the SNS to serve their clients directly. SNS enterprises focus on how much comfortable to use their own services to interact with others. This point becomes a significant part of keeping users.

Let me give you another example. Most college students who have lots of group works need a space to discuss without others’ interruption. They’ll find and use a SNS that offers the good one. SNS’ functions for collaboration, after all, exceed ones for communication. However, there are still some propaganda contents on SNS. As SNS is based on individuals over the world, there are limitations to check all users’ posts, so that it’s risky to share personal stereotypes or incorrect information. SNS corporations’ role, therefore, should encourage users to cooperate with each other while checking unsound contents. Furthermore, whenever people use SNS to share their thought or work together, they need self-censorship in order to keep the sound environment with SNS’ functions.
