shameless self-promotion here: I've got a piece on thefacebook as a means of mediating social distance. it'll be in the ASA journal, _Contexts_ ...it should be out in the issue after next. I'd welcome feedback or thoughts on the draft if anyone's interested. ___________________________________________________________ Mary L.

Searches of the papers at AoIR conferences and the journal indexes come up empty. Who is doing research on the social networking websites, such as Facebook, Myspace, XuQa, Tagworld, Catch-27, etc.??? If you know of any scholarly work on this phenomenon, please email me off list. Thanks. -- Mark D.
