Dear SocNet Friends:

Happy New Year!

I'm happy to report that we'd received 235 paper abstracts for Xi'an 2013 INSNA Conference by January 1. Although this is a great number already, I understand that some of you might have been occupied during the holiday season and could not send in your paper abstract to us timely. To satisfy your needs, we've extended our submission deadline to January 10. Relevant information is enclosed below.

See you in Xi'an next July!
