Literature about Blogging

I still didn't find the time to publish some first results of my thesis. Hope I can publish the whole paper within the next weeks (after my Prof gave me a feedback)...

Meanwhile, I looked through some blogs which I subscribed on Bloglines. The blogosphere is moving so fast, that I already think my thesis is out-of-date...

I like the list from Tim Fischer of a first draft of his bibliography he used for his PhD even though it's a bit old.
I think it's interesting for future works to see what bibliography was used in earlier papers. Especially when you write a thesis about it... ;-)
Please look also on earlier links to lists about blogging: here and here...and also on the left...

Hope these lists and the following bibliography can help someone to have it easier in writing a paper about blogging:

Thesis about Corporate Blogging finished

Finally, I finished my thesis about Corporate Blogging!! - No posts during the previous weeks because of last-minute-stress to bring it to an end...

I still have some things I'd like to improve and there are many more sources to consider. The field is so active at the moment that there are new articles or studies every week...
I had to stop reading my Bloglines-Blogs beginning of November to concentrate on the sources I had - no considerations of any sources after this date...

Zerfass & Bölter's Meinungsmacher-book helped me a lot bringing my thoughts in order at the end (and also seeing in which directions I could have written more in my thesis). The whole aspect of trust in the online-communication was not considered, even though I wrote (together with others) a semester work about it lately. Also the more macro-view on social software and the whole discussion about Web 2.0 was not considered, even though very interesting! Still, these aspects should be taken into consideration in a study about the blogosphere in general and not in a thesis about blogging for companies.

I'll show some results of the online-survey on this page within the next days - the thesis will be sent out to the people who were interested after the review of my prof.
