Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration... The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to create new forms of social process would be given to the world at large, and development would be rapid.

The volunteer workforce that built the projects flagship, the English-language Wikipediaand must defend it against vandalism, hoaxes, and manipulation has shrunk by more than a third since 2007 and is still shrinking The main source of those problems is not mysterious. The loose collective running the site today, estimated to be 90 percent male, operates a crushing bureaucracy with an often abrasive atmosphere that deters newcomers who might increase participation in Wikipedia and broaden its coverage http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/ 23. By Sgolne Tarte, David De Roure and Pip Willcox Working out the Plot The Role of Stories in Social Machines 24. Stories within Social Machines Stories about Social Machines Social Machines for stories Now we consider... SOCIAL MACHINES AS STORIES 25. STORYTELLING AS A STETHOSCOPE FOR SOCIAL MACHINES 1. Sociality through storytelling potential and realization 2. Sustainability through reactivity and interactivity 3. Emergence through collaborative authorship and mixed authority Zooniverse is a highly storied Social Machine Facebook doesnt allow for improvisation Wikipedia assigns authority rights rigidly http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/ora:8033 26.
