Hi,

My new book is now available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0415817412. In addition to examining social media and disaster, the book also gives an overview on actor-network theory and concepts of data/information/knowledge with regards to participatory culture. 

Here are the details from Routledge (more info here: http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415817417/):

In Social Media in Disaster Response: How Experience Architects Can Build for Participation, Liza Potts traces how everyday people communicate online during times of disaster. Looking at experiences across the social web, she examines how we can architect systems that encourage and facilitate participation. Her book provides methods and frameworks for researchers and practitioners in user experience, internet studies, technical communication, and computer science.

Ch. 1  Experience, Disaster, and the Social Web  

Ch. 2  Methods for Researching and Architecting the Social Web

Ch. 3  Locating Data in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
