I've been working on this post since Aug 1st when I went to the workshop, so the ideas have been floating around in my head since. Your specific example is a complex one -- but also very real. For some of the issues there I would point you (and others) to <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/~davidd/" rel="nofollow">David Danielson</a>. He has done experiments on responses to news stories when accompanied by brands -- including multiple brands (e.g. Associated Press & Yahoo News). So that could help there. Also relevant is a large body of research on source credibility in persuasion generally. I think the second part of your question is very particular to what I've written about here though. One way the difference could matter is how the brands are presented including visual appearance. SMS is much more limited in range than the Web. The second kind of different is one having to do with beliefs about and experience with some interface as presenting information from distal sources. Even if I know that, let's suppose, a server on my phone is sending me SMS (or similar) messages, my experience with SMS as a context in which I should orient towards the distal source may mean that the influence of the physical characteristics of my phone are still reduced.

I want to translate #2 to a specific example on Facebook: reading a News Feed story. A friend posts a link to an interesting article about a brand. Would I orient the source of the article with my friend, Facebook, the website hosting the article, or the brand itself? How would this differ if I received the News Feed story via desktop, mobile browsing, or SMS? I'll think more about it and thanks for including the references! Great follow up to Zibibbos.
