I need some help with some research I'm doing this semester. I'm trying to think of all of the possible forms of computer mediated communication there are. Computer mediated communication is exactly what it sounds like, any type of communication that can't occur without the use of a computer-based tool. Some that I've thought of are:
IM
email
blog
wiki
text messaging
doc sharing software (e.g. driveway.com)
combinations (e.g. Google Groups)
chat (text, voip, webcam)
e-books/e-journals
web pages
listserves & discussion boards
social networks like Facebook
Can you think of any I've missed? Do you think that social bookmarking software/sites like delicious count as computer mediated communication?

Certainly delicious would count. It's a tool that we use to share our interests with others isn't it? and you can serendipitously look at other delicious links I think...
you might try this for ideas.

It's from Nancy Dowd's blog on marketing and it's an impressive "conversation map"
cheers,
