Hi Angelina, Depending upon how fine-grained of an analysis you are looking for, there is always my dissertation: Virtual Trouble: Negotiating Access in Online Communities In which I talk about how performing technical affiliation can shut down access to novel expression, access to speaking rights and privileges, and access to technial information in certain forms of online tech talk. Maybe post to the list when you've compiled your results? I'd be interested to hear what you find out. Thanks, Patricia G.

Could anyone recommend any sources (particularly qualitative) exploring individual barriers to online participation? I'm aware of Honnecke and Preece's work on lurkers, but I wonder if other kinds of barriers to participation have also been identified.
Thanks,
Angelina.
