摘要：

This article examines the links to YouTube from the Facebook "walls" of the three major candidates in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. User-generated linkage patterns show how participants in these politically related social networking dialogs used online video to make their points. We show how different types of individuals inhabit these overlapping public spheres and how they provide structure and interpretive information for others. Civic life is becoming more sociotechnical, and will therefore involve engagements with ideas as they are constructed by others out of disparate information sources and their interlinkages.
