I've been thinking of unique ways to approach the mash up project and thought of a question I would like to pose to the people in this course.
Tag value, account, user status and site content level seem to be the "tangible" basic units of social computing. These 'tangible' units will depend on the site design. My question to you is:
What is the most basic 'intangible' units of social computing tools?
On personal reflection, the unit itself can be reached 2 way. The first way through the the 'tangible' unit used to reach it. For example , the basic unit of flickR may be considered a picture or the tag assigned to a picture. If picture is used, the basic unit may be expression whereas if tags are used, the units may be connections to others.
Anyone?

In my personal oppinion, I would say the intangible unit would be the users and the connection between users (whether they know eachother or not) While this is tangible in a way, to attempt to analyse this would unveil a wicked problem.
Any thoughts?
