Group As User: Flaming and the Design of
Social Software
Group As User: Flaming and the Design of
Social Software
12/19/2004 03:53 PM
When we hear the word "software," most of us think of things like
Word, Powerpoint, or Photoshop, tools for individual users. These
tools treat the computer as a box, a self-contained environment in
which the user does things. Much of the current literature and
practice of software design -- feature requirements, UI design,
usability testing -- targets the individual user, functioning in
isolation.
And yet, when we poll users about what they actually do with their
computers, some form of social interaction always tops the list --
conversation, collaboration, playing games, and so on. The practice of
software design is shot through with computer-as-box assumptions,
while our actual behavior is closer to computer-as-door, treating the
device as an entrance to a social space.
We have grown quite adept at designing interfaces and interactions
between computers and machines, but our social tools -- the software
the users actually use most often -- remain badly misfit to their
task. Social interactions are far more complex and unpredictable than
human/computer interaction, and that unpredictability defeats classic
user-centric design. As a result, tools used daily by tens of millions
are either ignored as design challenges, or treated as if the only
possible site of improvement is the user-to-tool interface.
The design gap between computer-as-box and computer-as-door persists
because of a diminished conception of the user. The user of a piece of
social software is not just a collection of individuals, but a
group. Individual users take on roles that only make sense in groups:
leader, follower, peacemaker, process nazi, and so on. There are also
behaviors that can only occur in groups, from consensus building to
social climbing. And yet, despite these obvious differences between
personal and social behaviors, we have very little design practice
that treats the group as an entity to be designed for.
There is enormous value to be gotten in closing that gap, and it
doesn't require complicated new tools. It just requires new ways of
looking at old problems. Indeed, much of the most important work in
social software has been technically simple but socially complex.

Open-Source Mesh Group Releases
Software, Discusses Social Goals
Open-Source Mesh Group Releases
Software, Discusses Social Goals
04/28/2004 01:03 PMChampaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network releases first-generation
mesh/cloud software, seeks input and development: I spoke with Sascha
Meinrath, one of the folks leading the CUWiN project, about the scope
of the project, their goals for outside participation, and his recent
trip to Amsterdam to meet with a group designing documentation on
wireless networks for developing nations. The CUWiN project wants to
allow self-forming, noncentralized, mesh-based Wi-Fi networks using
standard, old PCs with no configuration. Slightly more advanced units
could be ruggedized boxes using Compact Flash, but the basic unit
would be a 486 or later PC with a bootable CD-ROM or bootable floppy
that bootstraps a CD-ROM. Once booted, a unit finds other similar
units without any other configuration or control and forms a mesh.
"We've been developing software now since about 2000, and our idea is
to build software that is super user friendly, super easy for someone
who doesn't understand the nuances of the technology or community
wireless networking to set up their own system," said Meinrath. It's
an attempt to enable community networking to spread beyond the folks
who are self-starters. To test their current software, they put
together a bunch of old Pentium 133-based system with off-the-shelf
Wi-Fi gear, burned CD-ROMs, booted the boxes and watched the mesh
network form within five minutes. However, the current generation of
software "won't scale well: there's no route prioritization, and
there's this problem of the hidden node problem," he said. (In a
hub-and-spoke network, hidden nodes can see the hub not other spokes
and can disrupt other network traffic by improperly sending at times
when other nodes are transmitting resulting in interference and
back-off behavior that reduces network performance. Mesh avoids some
hub and spoke problems, but can effectively move the hidden node
problem to any mesh point that has some connected nodes that can hear
each other and some that cannot.) CUWiN is design a system to
prioritize routes among mesh nodes based on MIT Roofnet, and are
looking into the Hazy Sighted Link State (HSLS) routing issue. HSLS
uses packet economics: more dropped packets in a given route
de-emphasizes it shunting more traffic to more successful routes.
(Read more about this in CUWiN's FAQ.) The software release by CUWiN
of a CD-ROM image containing bootable node software along with the
developer's resource (distributed under a BSD license with plans to
move to a GPL license) is part of...
