I quoted and recommended your post in comment on Andrew McAfee's "Toward a Pattern Language for Enterprise 2.0" and hope to see the term and your definition in widespread use.

I agree wi...Wow Andrew, that's really a great post. I agree with you, by the way, that social architecture is not the same thing as, or a newer facet of, information architecture. I actually wrote a post a couple years ago title "The Elements of Social Architecture." (http://www.websocialarchitecture.com/community/2007/08/the-elements-of.html) It was the first of what was going to be a series of three posts, but the other two are still languishing in my Drafts folder.<br /><br />My idea then was that social architecture was analogous to information architecture, and that in place of the famous users/content/context Venn, you could envision a Venn diagram of identity/relationships/media. <br /><br />I still sort of like the idea, but I also think there's a reason I never (or at least haven't yet) finished those other posts. First of all, defining social architecture feels like boiling the ocean, but even aside from that, I started to get the sense that social architecture was less an analog of IA and more a mirror image of it. <br /><br />So I end up unsure: Is it really just an extension of the same way of thinking? Or even just a new way of talking about it? My gut says no to both, but I can't prove it.<br /><br />Thanks for the thought-provoking post, Andrew. I'll look forward to more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053753488730006985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702285177962101956.post-53104843158323837212009-04-09T09:09:00.000-04:002009-04-09T09:09:00.000-04:00Andrew, my thanks (and comments) are on my post at...Andrew, my thanks (and comments) are on my post at <A HREF="http://www.theappgap.com/social-architecture.html" REL="nofollow">TheAppGap.</A><BR/><BR/>You've started an amazing dialogue.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016950326956281161noreply@blogger.com
