enREDando y conectando: Comunicacion y redes sociales

Abstract

This article is intended to make an analysis of social networks from a communicational point of view: based on their contents and topics; based on their components (closed or open); based on their existing interaction (internal or external); based on their kind of release and scope (local or international). Three websites showing several characteristics have been selected: a community self-management network, an academic network, and a sociopolitical network.
