Re: [Air-L] public/private [part 1 of 2]
by Lois Ann Scheidt 23 Aug '07

Ed, It's interesting to me that you say you have no agenda but you chose to reply to a private message in public...and you quoted my email without asking me in advance. Very interesting You have now wound back to my first email, where I addressed the confusion about the unit of analysis. If the unit of analysis is the webpage only, then of course application to an IRB is required in the US. But it will, most likely be exempt level research. You are not analyzing people, you are analyzing the artifacts they produce...the text. And publicly available text, etc. is similar to a letter to the editor in any major newspaper...the producer placed the work in a publicly accessible location and unlocked it for the standard uses allowed under the law. Do the producers always know that's what they did...of course not...and in those cases we educate. As Marj has said, ethnographic work is different, assuming that you are "participating" as well as "observing" and everything is in a publicly accessible local. I sincerely hope that the newbie researchers reading this thread made note of an earlier post that pointed out the sometimes dichotomous definitions of "public" and "private". Sometimes the term "publicly accessible" is clearer...in that a mall may be private property but the owners of that private property are running a publicly assessable establishment and have very few reasons they can legally ask someone to leave. Another example would be that you can't yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater but you can study the way people sit physically while they are there, and that too would be exempt level research...as long as you are only observing. Ed, your most recent email appears to be saying that you are concerned that research is being conducted without IRB review. I think you will find that others share that concern. However no where in your previous posts do I find that being stated as your primary concern...nor do I find the concern about IRB oversight being clearly articulated. It's a very different discussion than saying that the creator's of intellectual property have final say on that properties use in any situation...assuming they didn't post their blogs with an explicit statement that research is allowed. And finally, neither here or in my private email to you did I express a need for guidance. Your "mind-reading" decision that a title makes you the "expert" and my lack of that title makes me the "learner" is interesting, and while I can't address your qualifications I can address my own...and I am not in need of guidance related to the material I have discussed here or in my private email. While it is wonderful that AoIR and other listservs reach out to assist students who ask for help, it is also best for those who answer to do more than express their opinions...opinions alone are very unhelpful to grad students as many of them are looking for "the right" answer and may confuse an opinion with the actual process. I have to note, that in a previous email I commented on the problems with "mind-reading" subjects rather than asking them about their expectation of privacy. Mind-reading is never good, and it is always both a controlling behavior and one that places the mind-reader above the mind-read person...the mind-reader knows best. I for one do not believe that my studies, and my good fortune in both being able to take the time for PhD studies or for having the access to funding to gain my degree, gives me some superior insight into another persons thinking, asking is always best. Now if a blogger posted "NO RESEARCH HERE." I would have to think twice before I would know if I would use that site in my research. No doubt I would be consulting with some of my colleagues on this list who are experts in ethics, law, and human subjects work. I would have remained in this "public/private" discussion, prior to you calling me out, had I felt that it was actually an academic discussion...rather then one person using a baseball bat to force their "opinion" on others. As I have said previously in this thread, it's like watching someone who thinks they are arguing against the Tuskegee Syphilis Studies with people who are supporting that research...when no one here is supporting harm to subjects or the creators of the artifacts we study. I want to caution anyone new to the "human subjects" debate, that when you read IRB rules or any Human Subjects legal documentation please remember these documents were created, in very legalistic language, to primarily address historic problems with medical and psychological research. I am in no way saying they do not apply to social science research, rather that they don't fit us neatly...hence so many of these discussions must be had as we work through how old rules apply to new situations. I would also caution new researchers to talk to experts, and to read published ethical and IRB essays and research so they know the prevailing point of view...don't just take a faculty members word for it, you need to take the time to learn it yourself, because you will be held responsible for your own research ethics.

international internet usage?
by Nancy Baym 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi -- I am looking for any sources comparable to the Pew site (for instance this chart: http://pewinternet.org/trends/Internet_Activities_6.15.07.htm) that track simple CURRENT statistics about how many people use email, im, the web, and other modes of online interaction. I'd like to be able to teach and report on non-US populations. I am aware of these two sites: http://www.nielsen-netratings.com/resources.jsp?section=pr_netv&nav=1 which provides some information about web use in 10 different countries and http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm which reports on percentages of world populations using the internet at all but neither break it down to compare which things they do on line or how many do each online activity. Thanks in advance for any links, if any exist. Nancy

Re: [Air-L] The slow decay of mySpace?
by m.thelwall＠blueyonder.co.uk 22 Aug '07

Hi Hugie, Just to back up some of the replies to this - looking at a sample of MySpace profiles, about a third of "members" probably only log on when they join and then give up for whatever reason. Another third probably log on weekly or so and the rest may give up after a while or log on infrequently - so it is difficult to draw conclusions about migration just from the number of active users, even aside from the problem of multiple accounts- which maybe one day soon the majority of users will have. http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~cm1993/papers/MySpace_d.doc It will be interesting to see if in the future sites that are now very big amongst some sectors of the population (e.g., MySpace, Facebook) are dropped for the new latest thing, or manage to sustain their user base by reinventing themselves or just through sheer weight of numbers.

International Internet use statistics
by David Brake 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

For an interesting Asian comparison, try South Korea's National Internet Development Agency http://isis.nida.or.kr/index_unssl.jsp. The site navigation isn't great and the reports are in slightly eccentric English but it was there I discovered that in 2005 "41.3% of Internet users have visited own's or other's blog (mini homepage), and 30.7% of them have own's blogs. Females use blogs more than male, and the age of 20's use them more than any other ages groups. This includes 57.5% of Koreans in their 20s" (which makes UK and US blog adoption look rather puny. Of course what they call a blog and the way that they use it may be quite different) There are several others in my bookmarks here: http://www.netvouz.com/ davidbrake/tag/internet+statistics including the World Internet Project http://www.worldinternetproject.net/ which covers several countries using comparable questions. --- David Brake, Doctoral Student in Media and Communications, London School of Economics & Political Science <http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/study/ mPhilPhDMediaAndCommunications.htm> Also see http://davidbrake.org/ (home page), http://blog.org/ (personal weblog) and http://get.to/lseblog (academic groupblog) Author of Dealing With E-Mail - <http://davidbrake.org/ dealingwithemail/> callto://DavidBrake (Skype.com's Instant Messenger and net phone) Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/secretariat/legal/disclaimer.htm
