here's another bibliography<http://www.tesl-ej.org/wordpress/issues/volume13/ej50/ej50int/>that
might be useful.

you can also check out Howard Rheingold's delicious facebook
tags<http://delicious.com/hrheingold/facebook>.
he has a lot of others for social
networks<http://delicious.com/hrheingold/facebook+social_networks>and
ed
tech <http://delicious.com/hrheingold/facebook+educational_technology> that
might be useful as well.

good luck!
