[Air-l] refs on myspace and facebook

[Mark Bell]

Dr. Nardi,

This is what I have on Facebook. For myspace I would consult danah
boyd (she is very hard to get a hold of her) or someone from her list
(link below).

There is also an edition of JCMC that will be dealing with social
networks and facebook and MySpace will be mentioned. I am preparing a
submission for this now that studies homophily in Facebook groups.
