The Real Life Social Network is a pretty long but also pretty interesting slide show about the theory behind social media and how it needs to be designed to reflect the real ways people interact in life and online. I'd make it a must-read for web and forum designers and folks who want to start online groups.
For those of us who are just working with social media, we also have plenty of food for thought here, including getting real about how large our audiences are and what they are using to construct their idea about our identity.
