ABSTRACT
Social space conventionally denotes a physical space with fixed location, e.g. a living room, a lobby in a hotel, or a town square, allowing people to interact with each other. With the rapid development of communication and networking, a social space is extended from a fixed physical location to a mobile virtual space [Harasim], built by the internet, e.g., an online chat room, instant messaging, and Facebook, with the information exchanging for textual, audio, and visual media, connecting to the people located in different places with fixed location and to the ones with mobility via hand-held mobile devices.
