Dear All, This is Ali. I am a doctoral student at Centre for Policy Modelling, here in Manchester UK. I am interested in Social Networking Systems such as Facebook. In particular how people develop their links online. What processes does one go through in order to develop, and then maintain, her social network? In this regard, I am looking for some empirical evidence such as surveys, questionnaires and SNS logged information. Does anyone know of any such information then please share? It will be quite useful to me. Thanks!
