Read the following passage and
answer the questions 46 – 50 :
While Boyd allows that some
people consider email or discussion lists to be Social Software, he makes an
important distinction between traditional communication software and Social
Software. He explains that traditional software places people into groups with
a top-down approach; in other words, it assigns membership. However, Social
Software takes a bottom-up approach, which enables people to organize
themselves into a network based on their preferences. Therefore, with a
bottom-up approach, people can sign up for a system and build communities using
their personal preferences (Marenzi et al., 2008). In contrast,
traditional communication software uses a top-down approach where people are
assigned into a specific organization or groups. Social Software is based on
supporting individuals who interact socially with people who have similar
interests (Marenzi et al., 2008). In addition, users typically enjoy
Social Software itself and work with various Social Software applications
voluntarily.
For example, the authors of
social media enjoy content that they have created themselves, content that is
copied from other media, and mash-ups that contain a mix of content that could
possibly be from several authors (Ahonen and Lietsala, 2007). The popularity of
social technologies is attributed to the increase in low-cost tools and the
critical mass of millions of people who are now connected to the Internet and
to the people’s need to feel like part of a community (Avram, 2006). These
users tend to rely more on their own personal social networks than on
traditional business structures. (Vinson 2005) describes additional features of
Social Software tools: they allow people to easily participate (by both
contributing and reading) in the activities; they provide the opportunity for
networking and allow for the self-forming of networks since people are usually
both consumers and producers; and each individual can be a member on several
networks simultaneously (Avram, 2006).
46. People are
assigned into specific organization or groups in ________ approach.
(A)
Top-down approach
(B) Down-top approach

(C) Enjoying social software (D) (A) and (C) are correct.
48. Authors of
social media enjoy _______ of contents.
(A)
Self created contents (B) Contents
from magazines
(C) Contents from many
formats (D)
Contents from many languages
49. The reason/s
attributed to the popularity of social networking is/are :
(A) Masses have started using internet.
(B) All have free access to
internet.
(C) All are technology literates.
(D) Stimulation of on-line
communities over the traditional communities.
50. The social
software tools allow.
(A) Easy participation (B) Quick
networking
(C) Consumer networking (D) Both (A) & (B)
