researcher into a single reference, "The Handbook of Online and
Social Media Research" explores how these innovations are being
used by the leaders in the field. This groundbreaking reference
examines why traditional research is broken, both in theory and
practice, and includes chapters on online research communities,
community panels, blog mining, social networks, mobile research,
e-ethnography, predictive markets, and DIY research.
