[Peter Messeri]

Although  a book, your colleague might want to check out the following 
book that is an excellent empirical study of a cancer online support 
group that illustrates some aspects of  how social capital is deployed  
on line.
 

Antonia Bambina, Online Social Support: The Interplay of Social Networks 
and Computer-Mediated Communication. Cambria Press, 2007.
