Abstract

A variety of software options can help users to cope with the potential of information overload resulting from computer mediated communication systems. These include segmentation of communication topics via a conference structure, length limitations, voting structures, and a variety of mechanisms to filter and organize information. Encouragement of the emergence of an on-line social system, with norms and sanctions about considerate communications behavior, is also important for preventing 'junk mail' and similar impositions of unwanted material on users of these systems.
