[Air-L] Methodology recommendations for platform analysis

[André Brock]

I guess my question is: what have you tried?  There’s tons of research on
qualitative internet research methods over the last 20 years.

Do you know the work of Christine Hine, Annette Markham, Nancy Baym, Jean
Burgess, or Stephanie Duguay, Tom Boellstoerff, Mary Gray, Apryl Williams, o
r Jenny Davis?

There are a number of media and industry studies approaches to digital
space, artifacts, and communities as well: AJ Christian, Siva
Vaidhyanathan, Charlton McIlwain, and many more.

I'm sure the list will have more suggestions, but hopefully this will help.
