The Oxford Handbook of Networked Communication

Online communication technologies have opened up a new world of research questions about how people form relationships, organize into groups and communities, and navigate the boundaries between public and private life. This handbook brings together research from a variety of disciplines that examine these questions through the lens of new data. The result is a new theoretical framework that capitalizes on the constantly pulsating signals of networked communication, and offers an innovative approach to the study of human behavior and opinion formation.
