[Air-L] Differences between article comment sections and Twitter/FB threads?

[Chris Julien]

 Hi Jose,

I've done some preliminary work on this topic, as my Master's thesis
concerned a recurring, viral phenomenon on Imgur.com. I compared and
contrasted Imgur with both Reddit and Twitter briefly, looking at both
differences in the content posted and in the comments sections. You might
find my sources within those sections helpful (specifically, I have section
"IV. Imgur's Affordances and Hegemony" in mind, pages 32-47).

I've included the link to my thesis below for your convenience, it's too
big in size to email out.

Best,
