Abstract

This research conducts a survey of Social Networking Systems (SNS) literature and develops a Typology that challenges and identifies gaps in the basic questions thus far explored in SNS literature. The gap analysis exposes the previously unexplored opportunity for SNS with Organizations as Users (OAU) and deduces a framework for anticipating the emergence of full blown SNS with OAU that will rival the "Facebooks" of the world that thus far focus only on Individuals as Users.
