Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software
English term or phrase: starting point
People naturally tend to use software as a means to advance personal interests and to interact socially. As a result, the most broadminded consider the "cc:" line on e-mail the starting point of social software; others restrict the term a bit more. In fact, you may be tempted to ask, "what isn't social software?"
试译:
人们自然会往往利用软件作为发展个人兴趣、进行社交的工具。因而,想象力丰富的人就认为电子邮件上面的抄送栏就是社会性软件的???。其实,大家可能忍不住会问:“什么才不是社会性软件?”
