Great question Spencer! In some previous work, I've looked at ways in which LGBT youth used collecting and curating as genres of participation into "community." To no surprise, especially on Tumblr, community sometimes hangs on a hashtag. I've linked the article here in hopes it may help with some of the more conceptual framing of social tactics and functions of "writing" community online.

Hello all, I'm beginning a project that is focused on making distinctions between different Twitter hashtags based on the type and/or "amount" of community that is present in each. Because I'm relatively new to online communities, I want to make sure I'm not missing important work in this area. Are there any resources that you would recommend for thinking about what makes up an online community and what distinguishes different online communities from each other? Many thanks!

Hi Spencer, Interesting question. I've been doing some research on online educational communities. I have a paper that you might be interested in about online doctoral communities. It doesn't discuss social media so much, but it has some interesting musings about online community. <goog_2124432939> http://ijds.org/Volume12/IJDSv12p033-048Berry2975.pdf <http://ijds.org/Volume12/IJDSv12p033-048Berry2975.pdf> Also, Kietzmann has some interesting pieces about social media that might be relevant. http://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/40673569/2012_Unpacking_the_S... <http://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/40673569/2012_Unpacking_the_Social_Media_Phenomenon_JPA.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1495852991&Signature=tX2ACOJSUbbAOjtT7YI7ZiDFnRQ%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DUnpacking_the_social_media_phenomenon_to.pdf> Best, Sharla On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 7:29 AM, Spencer P.
