A TAXONOMY ON SOCIAL NETWORK SERVICE

摘要

Despite the popularity of social networks, there is a lack of a systematic way in which different social networking services can be categorized, and what users' expectations and motivations for each type of social networking services are. This paper presents a typology of social networking services based on prior research of social networks, as well as service literature. Based on the typology, we proceed to elaborate on how to provide added value for each type of social networking services.
