Social software is software that allows communities to self-manage and govern themselves without the need to rely on
pyramidal intelligence. Its purpose is to enhance governance, relationships, dialog, wealth building, project management, accounting, conflict resolution, collective memory, brainstorm, fun,
holopticism, marketplaces, etc. Some instances of
social software work synchronously (chats, internet telephony, IRC...), others work asynchronously (forums, project management, wikis, weblogs, etc).
Social software is most powerful when used in cyberspace
?. We call this marriage between social software and cyberspace
socialware.
