Hey Lilly,
Check out the works on "netnography". Main works are by Robert V. Kozinets
and Langer and Beckman.

Good luck!

Hi all-

I was wondering if anyone has come across articles and literature on
doing online ethnography. I know that AOIR has put together an
ethical document on doing online research more broadly, but has there
been any kind of exploration of the role and definition of
ethnography in online environments? It seems to me that there has
been work into online communities and online behaviors and practices
through the use offline ethnography, but has there been any kind of
consideration of what online ethnography would look like or be
defined as?
