I've got a paper to write on Internet speech. Basically anything having to do with how we act or speak with someone on the internet via forums or messaging systems will do. Anyone have any references to something of that sort?

Sorry, can't help you there. I'd imagine your eight or so years of posting here are probably inadmissible. ;)
