Social coding commons follows for Social experience design (SX) the notion of a concept called “Personal social networking”. Which entails adopting a SX perspective for designing social web solutions. The approach first considers the so-called sociosphere, i.e. the purely social reality one experiences both offline and online, and then reasons from there to the desired social dynamics to project onto the technology layers, i.e. to the technosphere.
Deliberately making these perspective and mindset shifts between socio and technosphere helps see the social network requirements from different angle. Especially when comparing to familiar social context and real-world situations offline, when doing our day to day routines, often helps see how the online abstractions to support them may be further improved.
