%DONE different types of communities: social exchange(facebook, twitter, div messaging apps), social support platforms, information exchange (community knownledge platforms (CQA, forums, wikis, ...), ...)
With the introduction of the Web 2.0 and its core feature of user interaction, users interact with each other in online communities. These communities come in various shapes and forms. There are communities for social interaction, for instance, Facebook\footnote{\url{https://facebook.com}}, Twitter\footnote{\url{https://twitter.com}}, and instant messaging apps. There are communities for social support, i.e. communities where users have certain common qualities, for instance, illnesses. There are also communities with the purpose of information exchange. Information exchange platforms can be grouped into expert and community knowledge platforms. While expert platforms are rarely known and often only used by niece groups, community knowledge platforms are widely known and used by the general public. Community knowledge platforms can be divided into 1) wikis, for instance, Wikipedia\footnote{\url{https://wikipedia.org}}, 2) forums, and 3) Q\&A platforms, for instance, \emph{Yahoo! Answers}\footnote{\url{https://answers.yahoo.com}}, \emph Quora\footnote{\url{https://quora.com}}, and StackExchange\footnote{\url{https://stackexchange.com}}.

StackExchange is a Q\&A platform and consists of 174 communities\footnote{\url{https://stackexchange.com/tour}}. Each community evolves around a specific topic, for instance, StackOverflow focuses on software engineering, and AskUbuntu focuses on the Ubuntu operating system. This distinguishes StackExchange from other Q\&A sites such as \emph{Yahoo! Answers} where no such differentiation into topics exists. %TODO ref
