Social Software And The Politics Of Groups
Social software -- software that supports group communications -- includes everything from the simple CC: line in e-mail to vast 3-D game worlds like EverQuest, and it can be as undirected as a chat room, or as task-oriented as a wiki (a collaborative workspace).
Because there are so many patterns of group interaction, social software is a much larger category than things like groupware or online communities.
Interesting text; Livejournal is also mentioned.
