I hope that you are starting with the first social networking site. I guess you could call it the "Mother of all Social Networks". The Internet was designed at a social networking site to share information and ideas. Everything has moved from them so swiftly that we have lost sight of that intitial idea.

Subject: [Air-L] history of social network sites
Nicole Ellison and I are working on our intro for the special issue
of JCMC on social network sites. One of the sections in our intro is
a history of SNSs; we're vetting it publicly to make certain that
there are no issues or errors. If this is something of interest to
you, please check out: http://www.danah.org/papers/worksinprogress/
SNSHistory.html (Feedback obviously welcome, or rather begged for...)
We are also trying to make certain that we have an up-to-date list of
publications on the topic (for the lit review section). If you're
working in this area or know this area, could you check out: http:// <http:///>
www.danah.org/SNSResearch.html -- I'd love to know of work that's
not listed here. Please please please chime up if you know something
that's missing from this list.
[Also, many of you responded a month ago when my essay on class and
SNS spiraled a bit out of control. I haven't yet had the chance to
respond to all of the thousands of emails and comments I received,
but I did put together a long response to the major issues. If
that's of interest: http://www.danah.org/papers/essays/
ResponseToClassDivisions.html And I *really* appreciate the
comments from folks from AOIR - they were far more constructive than
most of what I received.]
I hope everyone's having a fantastic summer!
