Unlike Human-Computer Interaction, which looks at how a single person interacts with a single computer, the field of Social Navigation looks at how people interact and communicate with each other in virtual or electronic worlds. It therefore offers a different perspective to traditional HCI on issues like system design and usability. It will be a key topic for anyone involved in the design, evaluation or use of shared information systems, such as virtual communities on the World Wide Web.
This is the only major work covering this important topic Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
