I. What Are Social Patterns? > 1. Mommy, What’s a Social User Experience Patter...

Chapter 1. Mommy, What’s a Social User Experience Pattern?

I have a dream for the Web...and it has two parts. In the first part, the Web becomes a much more powerful means for collaboration between people. I have always imagined the information space as something to which everyone has immediate and intuitive access, and not just to browse, but to create. Furthermore, the dream of people-to-people communication through shared knowledge must be possible for groups of all sizes, interacting electronically with as much ease as they do now in person.

Tim Berners-Lee Weaving the Web, p 157, 1999
