Within the scope of this thesis, the concept of user-centered social software as an innovative approach for personal information management support in online social networks is developed. The basis for this concept is established by the characterization of different kinds of social software and the extension of personal information management to information exchange in online social contexts. The user-centered social software model encompasses services for the acquisition of relevant information, controlled information dissemination to selected contacts and flexible metadata and semantic information relation management concerning the organization of distributed personal information. The characteristics of user-centered social software are further substantiated by means of a software architecture design and are illustrated on a user interface prototype.
