Dear Anna, <br><br>I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but my article "The Limits of Networks as Models for Organizing the Social" just came out in New Media & Society (Vol 12 No 4, pp 603-617: <a href="http://nms.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/12/4/603?rss=1">http://nms.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/12/4/603?rss=1</a>). I don't focus on any service specifically (like Ning), but provide a more general theoretical framework for critique. <br>
<br>I'm dealing with the "disenfranchisement through participation" issue at more length in my current book project, but that's not out yet. I am, however, looking for manuscript reviewers!<br><br>Regards, <br>

Does anyone know of any good recent analysis of the rise of private networks and architectures such as NING? preferably from a network critique/theory perspective?<br>
thanks<br>
