Hello,

Here's one for you. I think one of the best researchers in this space is Jane Austen. And I say that with my tongue only partly in my cheek. Austen's books are all about the importance of maintaining your reputation in a dynamic, changing world where you are partially in control at best. BTW is there much overlap in membership between emint & socnet?

***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** HI Sam,

I have yet to find academic papers that are up to speed with what's happening with practitioners. 
Bryce Glass is a former Yahoo! working on reputation management systems, i.e., how to create a system similar to Amazon.com's seller rating system. Check out his work (including excerpts from his upcoming book) at: http://soldierant.net/mt/mt-search.cgi?tag=reputation&blog_id=1

Bryce's site is a good place to start when thinking about designers of social networking sites conceive of "reputation."  Also interesting is how the corporate world is noticing reputation management. Businessweek wrote about this:

I think these two popular sources might be fruitful from a discourse analysis perspective. As for academic writings, I haven't found many that are really meaningful, in terms of what industry folks are actually DOING.

Cheers.
Also Sam

Hello all,

 

I am interested in the area of reputation management online. Specifically, I am interested in how social network sites offer both opportunities and challenges for reputation management, and was wondering if anyone knew of papers in this area.

 

 I will compile the responses, and post a summary back to this list.

 

Many thanks,

Sam
