In general, social support services attempt to help the user solve specific problems with a product which another member of the network is familiar with—rather than having to rely on manufacturers to provide training, customization, or other support services.
Social support, much like peer support occurs when members of a social network provide knowledge, experience, guidance, helpful or practical help to one other. It commonly refers to an initiative consisting of trained and/or experienced supporters, and can take a number of forms such as mentors, listening, tutorials or counseling. Social support is also used to refer to initiatives where colleagues, members of self help organizations and others meet as equals to give each other support on a reciprocal basis. "Social" in this case is taken to imply that each person has no more expertise as a supporter than the other and the relationship is one of equality.

These supportive resources can be emotional (e.g., caring), tangible (e.g., financial assistance), informational (e.g., advice, technical support), or companionship (e.g., sense of belonging). Like Social support, Geosocial support can be measured as the perception that one has assistance available from any location on earth, the actual received assistance (non dependent on location), or the degree to which a person is integrated in a geosocial network with a shared location. Geosocial support can come from many sources, such as family, friends, associates, colleagues, organizations, coworkers, etc. Geosocial support is cross cultural and transcends language barriers
Land surveyors in history had a difficult time finding answers to their problems in the field, until one day land surveyors united in the name of Geosocial Support and now they can solve problems with the collaborative social support of their associates around the world, without worrying about language barriers.
