I've been trying to track down a list of publications, if it might
exist, of researchers who have used field data from new media use --
that is recorded data of some sort from actual blogs, tweets, searches,
surfing, emailing, texting, etc to study communication in the new media
environment.  I'm aware of a large literature than uses self report
survey data from respondents who report what they think they do online,
or experiments that track behavior in manipulated environments, but I'm
trying to locate publications with actual field data.  I know Nielsen
and Hitwise and others monitor behavior of large panels from key loggers
and ISP servers, but it appears most of their stuff is proprietary and
unpublished.

Is there something out there I should know about?
