A conference on the sociology of blogging

by Candida Kutz for SiliconValleyWatcher.com


If you are interested in blogging from a sociological standpoint, there is an online conference Online Social Network 2005. It's happening Feb. 9-23, and registration is $35 before Feb. 8.

The keynote address will be presented by Howard Rheingold, whom I made the warm acquaintance of many years ago (hi Howard!) and Lisa Kimball. They will give an updated presentation of their paper, How Online Social Networks Benefit Organizations.


Focus areas will cover organizational social networks, personal social networks, and political social networks.
