The Politics of Social Media. Facebook: Control and Resistance
This thesis examines the governance of contemporary social media and the potential of resistance. In particular, it sheds light on several cases in which Facebook has met with resistance in its attempt to exercise control. This social networking site has raised concerns over privacy, the constraints of its software, and the exploitation of user-generated content. | source : mastersofmedia.hum.uva.nl

BBC - BBC Internet Blog: Guardian Hackday
In addition we queried the datastore to give a list of all of the MPs appearances across Guardian and BBC content. This was returned as a JSON document, and passed to an embedded Processing Java applet. A Java applet may seem like an unusual choice in 2009, but Processing is an excellent choice for the rapid development of responsive graphics applications, due to its integration with existing JAVA libraries, and its powerful graphics framework. | source : www.bbc.co.uk

The Effects of Reading Political Blogs | Snurblog
Overall, the study produced mixed results - one question that emerges is whether blog readers see political strategy as political value; elements of political sophistication and of community membership also appear to be of importance. Blog readers also do seem to have a particular understanding of how the media work (this is somewhat different from political sophistication - more a kind of media sophistication); what also needs to be examined are the effects of starting to read blogs as compared to increasing use. | source : snurb.info

Political Participation by Active and Passive Blog Users | Snurblog
Findings were that there was a positive relationship between an active use of blogs and political participation on- and offline; there was no such correlation for passive use. (Younger people were especially active online; wealthier users offline.) Active use was also related to greater engagement with weak ties, disagreeing views, and better reasoning strategies. | source : snurb.info
