The Quandry of my Lit Review

OK, so after my Saturday Night/Sunday Morning epiphany, I am working feverishly to complete my Lit Review using my new model. I’m not sure how this will end up looking in the final version, but this paragraph basically sums up what I want to say in my Lit Review:

The field of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) has a significant body of research that relates to the use of SNSs to communicate among friends, family, and classmates, but does not have a large body of research about how people can use SNSs effectively in the workplace. In contrast, research in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has been conducted for more then 20 years into the impact of communication networks in the workplace, but does not have adequate data about how users can leverage the latest generation of SNS tools to improve work performance. The discipline of Instructional Design (ID) has a long history of effective use to elicit a set of desired behaviors, but it does not adequately account for the impact of social ties, especially as those are magnified by technology.

Thoughts?
