Hi Daniel. This is something my colleague Matt Zook and I have written about. See: Zook, M. & M. Graham. 2007.

And if you could help me out on another issue?
I'm also looking for an article/literature that deals with the relationship of "algorithms" and "geodata". Most of the work about algorithms that I could find seem very "technical", thus missing the social aspect of it.
My main concern: What are and do algorithms: technically but as well as from a social anthropological perspective? How is geodata used within these algorithms causing what? How can one theorize and conceptualize the relationsship of geodata, algorithms and ethnography?
Again, together with a colleague I will be holding a workshop to discuss ways in which numeric (geo-)data and ethnography can be joined in anthropological theory and methodology. We both think that algorithms and their relationship with geodata play an important part to understand these issues. Any ideas or suggestions of an article?
Thanks you so much!
Kind regards, Daniel Kunzelmann
