I am very interested in this thread but also find the subject a bit befuddling. Aren't almost all interpretive social theories of the 20th century (symbolic interactionism, phenomenology, , ethnomethdology, etc.) theories of social presence? There have been volumes upon volumes of work rooted in these traditions dealing with cmc sociality and identity. Or is the subject here a new and coherently distinctive kind of social theory that is specific to virtual environments?

Here are a few of the sources I have found useful in my research on
international virtual workplaces. Each addresses social presence theory
in some aspect. Some of these are a bit dated but significant (e.g.,
Ma). I included Walther though you have probably already pulled his
resources.
