English term or phrase: contained versions
1.- How social networks work
Social networks on the web are like contained versions
of the sprawling blog network. People joining a social
network usually create a profile and then build a network by
connecting to friends and contacts in the network, or
by inviting real-world contacts and friends to join the
social network.

versiones contenidas/confinadas/bajo control
Explanation:
Creo que la interpretación de "contained" aquí es "restrained, kept under control", a diferencia de la "sprawling blog network" (sprawling: spread out irregularly, carelessly).

Saludos!

compartimentos/versiones acotados-as


Explanation:
Se trata de que dentro de la gran amplitud que tiene la red, que da a veces la sensación de ser casi infinita, existen sin embargo una especie de compartimentos estancos para personas que pertenecen a determinados círculos autónomos y que gustan de sentirse entre amigos. Esto hace que cada círculo o compartimento trate de ensanchar sus límites, que sin embargo siguen disfrutando de autonomía propia en la red.
