SOCIALIZE - Socialize forum: functions

This document shows the available functions provided by the Socialize Forum. The first objective of this service is to promote in the simplest and most effective possible way, the socialization among the elderly through discussion and exchange of opinions using IT tools and in particular, through the use of the web. The most salient and important feature of the Socialize Forum is the mechanism used for the emerging of user contents. The most interesting, discussed, frequented and useful contents are voted by the users in order to make them immediately visible to avoid the dispersion of the other user's attention on the less significant ones. This mechanism allows the user to actively participate in a discussion of the Forum by interacting even expressing only a simple vote with a click without having to necessarily write contents.
