MySpace.com: Taking a Closer Look at the Inner Workings of a Social Networking Website

Abstract

This paper aims to conceptualize data collected on the ways in which MySpace.com members communicate within the cyber-society. A review of the literature gives the framework by which to analyze the data in both sociological and psychological approaches. My research indicates a variety of understandings of what it means to be a part of the MySpace community, and how individuals interact within an online setting.
