[Air-L] Categorisation/taxonomy of online social systems?

[Judd Antin]

Hello,

Coye Cheshire and I recently (last month) published a book chapter that 
categorizes online collaborative systems. We focus on the influence of 
uncertainty about systems and online environments, and primarily use 
social exchange theory as a theoretical framework:

Cheshire, C., and J. Antin. 2009. “Order, Coordination and Uncertainty.” 
Pp. 266-291 in eTrust: Forming Relationships in the Online World, edited 
by K. S. Cook, C. Snijders, V. Buskins, and C. Cheshire. New York, NY: 
Russell Sage Foundation Publications.
