Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone. To make a note: I am looking for literature that covers reposting, resharing, reblogging, etc. practices on social media sites OTHER THAN Twitter. Thanks!

Hi all!
I'm beginning a project on social reposting in social media sites, but I'm having a (surprisingly) difficult time digging up relevant pieces of literature on the subject. If anyone has any leads, please do email me off-list, and I can compile the results afterward! Note: I'm not interested in social sharing (eg., 'I posted something I think other people should see on Facebook') but social re-sharing (eg., 'I clicked [Share] on a friend's Facebook post so others can see it too').
The best (only?) paper I could find is danah's older piece on Twitter retweet practices: http://www.danah.org/papers/TweetTweetRetweet.pdf
Thanks for the help! Alex
