Theories in your social media research
I would like to place my research within a theoretical framework and move it away from mere descriptions of social media practice. I've been looking at a variety of topics within the realm of PR/Ad industry use of social media (brands that use Facebook, reactions to FTC endorsement guidelines by bloggers, crises in the blogosphere) as well as the intersection of social media and popular culture. I am looking for your suggestions of articles that apply theory to the understanding of social media. Any citations you can send would be much appreciated, even if you feel it's not directly relevant to my area of social media research. Thanks so much!

For several of my social media research papers I have been exploring gift-giving as a theoretical framework. My thoughts so far are probably best summarized in the paper "Gift-giving as a conceptual framework: framing social behavior in online networks" in the Journal of Information Technology 25 (2):170177; doi:10.1057/jit.2010.5 http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jit/journal/v25/n2/abs/jit20105a.html Kind regards Jörgen Skågeby Research fellow, Dept. of Journalism, Media & Communication, Stockholm Univ. http://people.su.se/~jsk/

Hello,
Just for everyone's information ... forwarding a message from some Facebook contacts ...
Facebook launched Facebook Places yesterday. Anyone can find where you are when you are logged in. It gives the actual address & map location of where you are as you (and or) your kids use Facebook TO UNDO: Go to "Account", "Account Settings", "Notifications", then scroll down to "Places" and UNCHECK the 2 boxes. SAVE changes and then share this message.

I wonder if Facebook changes will take the place of the old virus scare emails. Thanks for the heads up. One thing I noticed was a message from facebook on the privacy settings page: "Get the Facts about Places There is a false rumor that Facebook shares your location without your knowledge or consent. You control your information on Facebook. With Places, you choose when to share your location by checking in or allowing friends to check you in. Your location is never given to anyone automatically. Learn more about Places." On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 11:44 AM, jcu <jcu@execulink.com> wrote:
