Research paper 2007
Social Network websites: best practices from leading services
(79 detailled PPT slides)
"Today, this sector appears mature enough to enable a study of the market’s leading firms’ development in order to identify their “best practices” and to propose a specific framework analysis for each type of website."
The PPT is a good taxonomic approach to understanding social networks and the trends in this important sector. They also offer some summaries of the major sites and case studies.
Worth a read. Since libraries are de facto social institutions we ignore the social software and site trend at our peril.
