Review: "Fully updated to reflect new developments in social media and digital scholarship, the book identifies the core relational issues these media disturb and shows how our talk about them echoes historical discussions about earlier communication technologies. Chapters explore how we use mediated language and nonverbal behavior to develop and sustain communities, social networks, and new relationships, and to maintain existing relationships in our everyday lives." -- Publisher information
