For an overview of this space, including a definition of "social network sites," a history of SNSs, and a literature review, see boyd & Ellison's 2007 introduction to the JCMC Special Issue on Social Network Sites entitled Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship. This frames what pieces are included in this list and why. Example social network sites researched include: Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, Cyworld, Mixi, Black Planet, Dodgeball, and LiveJournal.
The research contained below is focused specifically on social network sites (or "social networking" sites). Some of this is connected to social media, social software, Web2.0, social bookmarking, educational technologies, communities research, etc. but this is not the organizing focus and not everything related to these other topics is included here. This list is not methodologically or disciplinarily organized. There is work here from communications, information science, anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, cultural studies, computer science, etc.
I try to keep this up to date so please send me additional publications as you learn of them. I do not host articles so only those hosted elsewhere are linked. Please contact the author if you want an article that is not linked.
