[Air-L] Social media text & Evolution of social network sites

[Vyacheslav Polonski]

Dear Bercu,

I have recently written an analysis of the key trends that are driving the evolution of social network sites and social media. Hope you will find it interesting! Here is the article: http://www.dotrising.com/2014/01/07/the-evolution-of-social-network-sites-in-2014/ 

I am drawing on Bernie Hogan's work on online exhibition spaces, and context collapse theories, as well as danah boyd and Nicole Ellison's 2013 updated definition of social network sites (as opposed to social networking sites and online social networks). 

Best wishes,
Slava

Dear Bercu, et al

At least 20 profs have found the Rainie-Wellman Networked book to be a
good social media text, in part because it provides social context and in
part, by happy chance, it is 11 chapters long.

If you do adopt it for a class of 20 or more, then you get either Lee
Rainie or me to do a guest lecture by Skype, if you want.

Happy Winter,
   Barry Wellman
