Extrapolating principles: Ton Zylstra on the social object:
“In general you could say that both Flickr and del.icio.us work in a triangle: person, picture/ bookmark, and tag(s). Or more abstract a person, an object of sociality, and some descriptor...”
(Zylstra in Second Life, 2007)
![Page 36: Social software for teaching and learning, mid-2008](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555abdd7d8b42ab1128b4927/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“…In every triangle there always needs to be a person and an object of sociality. The third point of the triangle is free to define[,] as it were.”

“[S]tudents… write words on paper, yes— but… also compose words and images and create audio files on Web logs (blogs), in word processors, with video editors and Web editors and in e-mail and on presentation software and in instant messaging and on listservs and on bulletin boards—and no doubt in whatever genre will emerge in the next ten minutes.
Note that no one is making anyone do any of this writing.”
