Hi folks,
I've got a grad student looking for resources on the ways social network sites like Facebook get integrated into people's everyday practices and routines. She's looked to the usual sources (such as danah boyd's work and online bibliography, PEW studies, etc.) but isn't finding much beyond that. There's tons of stuff about what people do on these sites (identity construction, relationships, etc.), and broader social and cultural implications (community, democracy), but few teasing out the everyday practice. Does that make sense?  Any ideas?

Cheers,

Greg
