Code:
* [Intro/Talking points](http://wiki.citasa.org/index.php/Roundtable_2_Online_social_networks)
* masmith on a couple of things:
* email is a network; that is, networking isn't just "social networks"
* and we leave lots of traces
* Q: These are analytic objects; are they theoretical?
* tension between "what can I measure" and "what is meaningful for social life"?
* For whom are different kinds of data/phenomena meaningful?
* actions have meaning to their actors
* networks can obscure "real life" power/hierarchy
* and when ossified, prevent chance encounters that are meaningful or important
* content/meaning
* in a theoretical as well as a methodological way
* under what sorts of situations will these questions translate to action/understanding/democracy
* presuming that online networks will change institutions, what institutions will they be and what will they look like?
* marriage, relationships, structure of the family and extended family
* marketing
* money/financial institutions?
* education
