移动互联网时代的急速而至,使得中国社会生活网络化程度日益深化,网络空间社会行为已成为广大社会成员的主要行为内容之一。在网络技术尤其是移动互联网快速发展的推力之下,从聚集到拓展均发生颠覆性变革的移动虚拟社群,跨越了空间的界限,已演变为人们进行互动与分享的新型空间,并呈现出社群成员年轻化、同质化、社群信息获取碎片化、分享化和社群互动参与扩大化、富媒体化等崭新特质。移动虚拟社群对深度分化的中国社会具有多元化的整合功能,即在利益诉求、制度改革、价值认同、结构调整中消除实体空间社会分化的驱力,并源源不断地创造出新的整合动力。

With the rapid progress of mobile Internet, the networking degree of Chinese social life has been increasingly deepening and the social action in cyberspace has become one of the major behaviors of social members. Under the thrust of network technology, especially the fast development of the mobile Internet, the mobile virtual communities change disruptively in gathering and expanding, thus evolving across the boundary of space into a new space for people to interact and share. These communities render the traits that the community members are younger in average age and tend to be homogenous than ever, the community information might be shared and received in fragmentation, and that the community interaction and participation are to be expanded due to the ever richer media. Serving as a diversified part in the deeply-differentiated Chinese society, the mobile virtual community eliminates the drive of social differentiation in the real space in the aspects of the interest demand, the institutional reform, the value identification and structural adjustment, and keeps on bringing out new motivation for integration.
