Thanks. Does anyone know what approaches Japan, Korea, Indonesia, China, other countries around them, Brazil, Argentina, other Latin American countries, South Africa, other African countries, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries, or other networks, for example, are taking to archiving the WWW? Multiple, systematic worldwide Internet archiving approaches will add important diversity to this project, especially as the Information Technology revolution and Network Society develop.

CFP: Secrets and Lies in computer-mediated interaction (CHI'08 Workshop)
by Adam Joinson 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Apologies for any cross posting.. ++++++++++++++Call for papers+++++++++++++++ CHI 2008 Workshop: Secrets and Lies in Computer-Mediated Interaction: Theory, Methods and Design Florence, Italy: April 6th The keeping of secrets and the practicing of deception are a commonplace and important part of everyday social interaction. A clear understanding of why and how people deceive and keep secrets in computer-mediated interaction (CMI), and when they choose to reveal intimate aspects of themselves, is central to the design of socially intelligent tools. This workshop will focus on: 1. Theories and Methods for Studying Secrets and Lies What theories and models of these social actions exist? Can a unified model be developed? What methods are available, and is there potential for the cross- fertilization of methods across different domains and disciplines? 2. Design Challenges for HCI Practitioners Can room for socially beneficial deception and secrecy be designed into systems? Or should designers leave it to users to adapt systems to their own practices of deception and secrets? What are the security implications of designing with deception and secrecy in mind? We aim to bring together researchers, designers and practitioners from HCI and the social sciences (communication, psychology, sociology). Interested participants are asked to submit a 2-4 page position paper for review that should either situate the participants’ interests and background among the themes of the workshop, or report on preliminary research findings related to secrets or lies in CMI. More information is available at: http://people.bath.ac.uk/aj266/CHISecretsLies/ Papers should conform to the CHI Extended Abstracts format (http:// www.chi2007.org/submit/eaformat.php) To participate, one author is required to register for the workshop (approx $150 for a one day workshop) and one day of CHI 2008. Submissions should be emailed to jeff.hancock(a)cornell.edu by 10 Oct 2007, 5:00 PM PDT.

Re: [Air-L] information wanted, svp

hey, I don't know much about the history, but your mention of Circle of Trust brought to mind the PGP trust referral system. It was a sort of network of positive nods, and the more trusted a thumbs up, the more trusted the "thumbee." This is a form of social network, but I don't know when or where it actually fits in. Worth a look for the broad landscape, I reckon.. Cam

yogi berra on MySpace
by Barry Wellman 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Gail Taylor's thoughtful post included the following: "From the process perspective, researchers would think MySpace popularity is on the rise due to increasingly larger numbers of user accounts, as opposed to a drop-off." The great Yogi said it first: "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded." Barry Wellman _______________________________________________________________________ S.D.

information wanted, svp
by Barry Wellman 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Folks, I am asking for informational help. Someone has been editing the Wikipedia article on "Social Network" to assert that software called "Circle of Friends" (written by Jonathan Bishop in the UK) was the progenitor of other social networking software, such as Friendster, MySpace. I've asked repeatedly for documentation, but don't really get any. Does anyone know about this, or about simple assertions that "Circle of Trust" led to eOpinions, et al. In fact, is there a good history of social networkING services around, in either paper or book form. (Yes, I know about Howard Rheingold's wonderful book, but I was thinking of something that really tries to be a broad history. BTW, there is a separate Wikipedia artcle, "Social Network Services" about social networking software. It really needs expansion, if you are so inclined.

the slow decay of myspace
by 'Gail Taylor 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

My take on the issue is that researchers in online environments are either concerned with processes, practices or a combination of the two. Those who are concerned with processes conduct research on the technological structures that enable online interactions. Those who are concerned with practices conduct research on social structures. Others are choosing to use a hybrid approach that combines both process and practice. >From the process perspective, researchers would think MySpace popularity is on the rise due to increasingly larger numbers of user accounts, as opposed to a drop-off. From the process approach, researchers would think there might be a decline based on actions of a select group of users as opposed to practices of those who are new to the service or "power users". The power users are those who are maximizing the service. Lois Scheidt mentioned that some researchers are having participants develop technobiographies, or a hybrid approach. This research approach is representative of the socio-technical approach to conducting research. This approach is grounded in research that was conducted by researchers at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London (England) in the 1950s. Theoretical foundations are the sociotechnical systems theory (STS) and body of literature that is an outcome of application of this approach to conducting research in various settings. Rob Kling and other informatics researchers, including those who Lois mentioned, are using this approach to conduct research, primarily in face-to-face settings. It is well-suited for online environments. I started using the socio-technical approach a number of years ago, working as a knowledge management professional in environmental science research organizations. The STS body of literature can by located by doing a search that include phrases such as "socio-technical approach", "socio-technical perspective", and "sociotechnical system theory", among others. -------------------------------- Gail Taylor, M.Ed.

Re: [Air-L] archiving virtual worlds for social science

Pandora: Australia's web archive http://pandora.nla.gov.au/selectionguidelinesallpartners.html PANDORA is a selective archive. The National Library and its partners do not attempt to collect all Australian online publications and web sites, but select those that they consider are of significance and to have long-term research value. Some national libraries, such as Australia and Canada, have established selective archives, and some, such as Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Austria, endeavour to take periodic snapshots of their countries' entire web domains. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. The ideal situation would, perhaps, be a selective archive supplemented by periodic snapshots of the entire domain. For a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches see Sections 3-5 (pages 10-12) of <http://pandora.nla.gov.au//bsc49.doc>Collecting Australian Online Publications. Collecting Australian Online Publications outlines some approaches to archiving online documents. Pandora doesn't collect games.
