Social media effects are amazing in the developing world and its ability in creating relationships and its multifaceted utilities need to be explored. Good and timely idea to have a group on this area and I am happy to be a part of this community.

Just wanted to confirm that we will be editing a special issue of JCMC on organizations and social network sites, as a follow-up to our workshop on this topic at Communities and Technologies 2011.  The most up-to-date details on the workshop, now scheduled for June 30, 2011 in Brisbane, Australia, can be found on at this link: http://tc.msu.edu/orgsnsworkshop.  Plenty of time to get a paper in for the workshop:  extended abstracts due April 1, 2011, final papers, June 1.  We'll select the best papers and work with the authors to get them ready for the special issue of JCMC. Please consider submitting an extended abstract!

Hi everyone, just thought to draw your attention to an upcoming training course that may be of interest to those of you who are into mapping social phenomena (social networks, crime etc. anything with GIS) : Geographical data visualization and geodemographics, 9 March 2011, ... The tutors in this course are Professor Paul Longley (University College London) and Dr Alex Singleton (University of Liverpool).

For those interested in online social network sites and organizations, please consider submitting a paper to a workshop that I am co-organizing at the upcoming "Communities and Technologies" conference in Brisbane, June 29-July 2.  Details on the workshop are posted on the C&T web site at: http://ct2011.urbaninformatics.net/program/workshops/workshop-e/.  Extended abstracts of 1500 words are due by April 1, full papers for accepted abstracts by June 1.  We are also in discussions with the editor of Journal of Computer Mediated Communication for a special issue on this topic in conjunction with the workshop.

I'm not sure if this has been posted so forgive if this is a repeat - has anyone worked with lymbix.com? they have various tools for social media analysis and tweet tone has great visualizations. 

I'll be testing it out in coming weeks
