You may well have come across this, but just in case: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/women_and_children.html Herring, Susan C., Inna Kouper, Louis Ann Scheidt, Elijah L. Wright. "Women and children last: The discursive construction of weblogs". Ed. Laura J. Gurak, Smiljana Antonijevic, Laurie Johnson, Clancy Ratliff, and Jessica Reyman. Into the blogosphere: Rhetoric, community, and culture of weblogs. 2004. 11 Nov. 2006 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/women_and_children.html. A brief analysis I did of a blogger-meet (http://www.julianhopkins.net/index.php?/archives/13-BUM-2007-the-online-eve nt....html ) also suggests that 'SoPo' (socio-political) bloggers are maybe dominated by men. Though as others have pointed out, what constitutes a 'blog' is up for questioning, and most blogs are not the 'A-list', or SoPo, type. This blogger (http://blogger-research.blogspot.com/2006/11/blogging-asia-windows-live-rep ort.html) analyses a report done for Microsoft, based on their 'MSN Live' service, this suggests that most Asian bloggers are female - but there are many methodological problems with this report.

evidence, not assertion, re female bloggers
by Barry Wellman 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I have just read a digest of assertion and counter-assertion re the prevalence of women bloggers. Not one person offered any statistics. Although Nancy gave a rough estimate. Surely, this is one place where qual and quant can agree. Researchers gotta get their categories right, but then should keep their canons dry and at least do some sampling, counting and percentaging. Remember what "R" stands for in AoIR? Barry Wellman _____________________________________________________________________ Barry Wellman S.D.

Information request: current YouTube research?
by Jean Burgess 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Apologies for cross-posting. I'm currently working on a collaboration with Joshua Green from the Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT. To put it very briefly, we¹re designing a large-scale content analysis of YouTube, with the rather ambitious long-term aim of mapping the emergent genre system of the network. As part of our planning and early publications, we'd obviously like to be in dialogue with what¹s already being done in this area. Unsurprisingly, a pretty extensive database/web search has turned up very little substantial published research on YouTube per se (as opposed to, say, youth or informal learning, with YouTube as an example). But we're aware of the fact that there is likely to be a lot of research underway that we don't know about yet. If anyone is doing similar or even slightly related empirical research on YouTube, has publications forthcoming, or knows of current projects in the area, I'd appreciate any information you might be able to make available. Please reply either on-list or to je.burgess(a)qut.edu.au Regards Jean -- Jean Burgess Postdoctoral Research Fellow ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (cci) Queensland University of Technology Blogs: http://creativitymachine.net http://propagatingmedia.com Reviews editor, International Journal of Cultural Studies http://www.sagepub.com/journal.aspx?pid=196 ISSN: 1367-8779 P: +61 7 3138 8253 | F: +61 7 3138 3723 | M: 0401 733755

I look forward to the responses because this underrepresentation wasn't apparent to me.
