Recently, however, new technologies (such as Weblogs, Web services, Web syndication, tagging with folksonomies, and Wikis), sometimes collectively called Web 2.0 technologies, have appeared that offer more socially oriented network interactions. This has led to the new system development mode of (a) employing lightweight scripting languages to bundle various Web 2.0 elements, or plugins, and then (b) deploying them on network servers, thereby establishing social network systems (SNS). The physical nature of the new network architectures is increasingly heterogeneous, comprising more lightweight portable devices (cell phones and PDAs) interacting with ever-more powerful multi-core network servers that host SNS. Emerging from these developments are popular services such as Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, LiveJournal, Flickr, and YouTube. These sites employ tagging so that people can find others with similar tastes and share media files stored on the servers. However, analysts and observers pred
