	==About==		==About==
	'''~~Distributed~~ social computing''' is [[social computing]] ~~which is does not depend on~~ a single server ~~or operator~~; it can continue to ~~operate~~ even if some of the servers on which it is hosted are taken off the [[internet]] for any reason.		'''Federated social computing''' is [[social computing]] wherein multiple servers interconnect as peers without a single central directory server; it can continue to function even if some of the servers on which it is hosted are taken off the [[internet]] for any reason.
	===Terminology===		===Terminology===
	~~Synonyms for~~ "~~distributed~~" in this context include "decentralized", "[[peer-to-peer]]~~", and "federated~~". "Social computing" may also be referred to as "social networking", and a social computing application may be called a "social network", although those terms have slightly different meanings; see [[social computing]].		"Distributed" is often used almost synonymously with "federated" in this context, although [[distributed computing]] can involve a central server or hierarchy.

			Other near-synonyms for "federated" include "decentralized" and "[[peer-to-peer]]". "Social computing" may also be referred to as "social networking", and a social computing application may be called a "social network", although those terms have slightly different meanings; see [[social computing]].
