===Social network analysis===
"The key notion from network analysis, that the interconnections between people can be used to understand and improve their interactions, has clear implications for [[CSCW]] research into communication systems, teamwork, and [[knowledge management]]."  [http://www.ischool.washington.edu/mcdonald/cscw04/]
Key topics include:
Measurement - how are social networks being collected and measured?
Tools - what is the state-of-the-art for analyzing, visualizing and representing social networks?
Application - how are systems embedding social networks into the fabric of their design, and how can system designers distill the complexities of networks into user-oriented displays?
Evaluation - how does the use of social network systems change, facilitate, or hinder users and their collaborations?"
In general, '''[[social network]] analysis''' may play a formal role in determining what information affects the [[Consumerium buying signal]] and may also impact the way some aspects of [[power structure]] are interpreted.
