Hi, Just to say that I have carried out a study of everyday usage of Facebook in Trinidad which will be published in March as a book `Tales from Facebook' by Polity Press. This is a highly qualitative study and most of the data is a presentation of the place of Facebook in the lives of twelve individuals who represent different facets of its impact, followed by a general discussion of the current usage of Facebook with respect to 15 different issues of academic concern. There is quite a bit that relates to the details of usage such as frequency of posting, genres of posting, impact on various kinds of relationship from kinship to friendship amongst a range of people from youth to the elderly, with the focus almost entirely on everyday life.

Greg,
I enjoyed Naomi Baron's Always On: Language in an Online and Mobile World. She has intriguing research/discussion on the effects new technologies are having on our communications and relationships.

Hi folks, I've got a grad student looking for resources on the ways social network sites like Facebook get integrated into people's everyday practices and routines. She's looked to the usual sources (such as danah boyd's work and online bibliography, PEW studies, etc.) but isn't finding much beyond that. There's tons of stuff about what people do on these sites (identity construction, relationships, etc.), and broader social and cultural implications (community, democracy), but few teasing out the everyday practice. Does that make sense? Any ideas?
Cheers,
Greg
