Abstract
In spite of many studies, most of the CSCW studies are dealing the task oriented communication, in which people are apt to communicate what are necessary. They are necessary for the daily exchange of routine data, but are not imaginative nor creative. In the more natural human communication, people are exchanging messages to find out the problems, or to catch the situations, or to catch the timing to communicate. These communication are necessary for the situation awareness of the network participants. In this paper some experiments on network communication and the participants behaviors are explained. The metaphor of "Forest of Ideas" is developed to explain the behaviors, and to lead the creative communication among network participants. It is found that the free talking is important to facilitate network conferencing.
