[AIR-L] World-wide archiving projects?
by Scott MacLeod 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Thanks thus far. 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.

Quechup invites....beware
by Richard Forno 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

I'm hearing reports that these Quechup invites are a phishing expedition in disguise, or at least a VERY bad way of creating social networking. So I'm passing this along as an FYI given that I just saw one such invite hit the AOIR listserve: According to one report, http://mashable.com/2007/09/02/quechup/ " The issue lies with their ³check for friends² form: during signup you¹re asked to enter your email address and password to see whether any of your friends are already on the service. Enter the password, however, and it will proceed to mail all your contacts without asking permission. This has led to many users issuing apologies to their friends for ³spamming² them inadvertently. Hopefully the bad PR on this one will force them to change the system." Add'l coverage: http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2007/09/spam_alert_just_say_no_to_q uechup_1.html http://blogs.nmss.com/communications/2007/08/no-quechup-plea.html Just a FYI.

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
by Cameron Adams 03 Sep '07

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.
