Social Software Triangle reworked (Social Software Dreieck)

or: meet TIM, POC and NIM

For the purpose of my dissertation it is more appropriate to lay out the social software triangle this way (compared to the versions of Jan Schmidt and Koch/Richter)

Social Software Triange (rework)

It is a framework to position generic/abstract forms of usage of
these tools/services. Of course I like it, when blogs are in the center, which
also means that they are even more underdetermined than the other ones.
Positions can (and will!) change by adding (or removing?) respective
functionalities to the tools. E.g. adding widgets for social network
awareness to wikis (based on co-authorship relations) will shift it
into the NIM direction.

Other labels for the corners (counter
clockwise, starting bottom left) could be: Organization of Knowledge,
Communication of Knowledge(?) and Selections of Knowledge. For those
from the KM tradition.
