We suggest that these patterns reflect the more general processes of explicit and implicit structuring, resulting in both the reinforcement and change of social interaction within communities.  Explicit structuring included the planned replication, planned modification, and opportunistic modification of existing genres, while implicit structuring inclided the migration and variation of existing genres.  We believe that these two processes provide suggestive models for understanding the initial and ongoing use of new electronic media within a community.10aelectronic media10agenre10aGiddens10aorganization10astructuration1 aYates, JoAnne1 aOrlikowski, Wanda, J1 aOkamura, Kazuo  uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/zh-hans/biblio/explicit-and-implicit-structuring-genres-electronic-communication-reinforcement-and-change
