Abstract
The time is ripe for a new paradigm of research on social information foraging and sensemaking to be coupled with the development of theoretically motivated systems. In contrast to the bulk of CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) there is an opportunity now to develop predictive, quantitative, formal models of social information foraging and sensemaking.
