Yasou Jiannis,
Have you compiled a condensed summary of your thesis?
(eager to read it, but don’t want to drip an 83 page pdf on mobile while traveling)
Thank You,
Ed

depends on your definition of condensed…:)
One option would be to read the post I wrote at Super Blogging (first trackback above), which summarizes the results of my research. That’s probably the shortest version.
The thesis is divided in two parts. The first part is pure theory and the second part is the application of the theory in blogging and the social web. I suppose you can skip the first part and dive into the second.
I refer to the theory often, but I think at most parts it’s quite clear.
I’m really glad you’re interested in the thesis. Any feedback, notes or questions are always appreciated!
