    Getting it on(line): Sociological perspectives on e-dating
    Barraket, J ; Henry-Waring, MS (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2008-06)
    This article explores the role of sociology in understanding the phenomenon of online dating. Based on an examination of our qualitative study of 23 online daters, combined with the findings of the small number of other empirical studies available, we argue that further sociological consideration of the online dating phenomenon is required to: illuminate the social conditions informing these activities; enhance knowledge of if, and how, online technologies mediate intimate connections; and advance a critically informed understanding of the nature of intimacy in a global era.
