We argue that conversation can be used to map the social networks underlying these systems, based on structural and semantic aspects that can reveal social ties and social capital built by the actors. We also discuss how conversation can reveal more “live” or “emergent” networks in those sites, rather than the mere study of links exchanged by the actors.
