Hi, It might have to do more with "social software", but Chris Allen's history of social media has always been a good reference to me (via Trebor Scholz when I was one of his students, and himself a specialist on social media) : http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2004/10/tracing_the_evo.html Regards, Camille -- *Camille Paloque-Berges, PHD Candidate Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication Université Paris 8, Saint Dens, France* On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 12:58 AM, Neal Thomas <neal@hivemedia.ca> wrote:

Hi Davide;

A couple more good markers of the appearance of terms related to social media might be the following:

Using collaborative filtering to weave an information tapestry (1992) http://en.scientificcommons.org/42270400

Social Information Filtering: Algorithms for Automating "Word of Mouth'' (1995) http://www.sigchi.org/chi95/proceedings/papers/us_bdy.htm
