Lee, are you interested in countries other than the USA? I had some interviews from 1996, from a very restricted set of users, about what draw them to the internet. The actual interviews were lost (computer stolen, long and sad story) but I have a briefing I wrote. Let me know off-list.

recommendations for a wiki farm?
by Pamela Rosengren 06 Mar '07

If you use Edublogs www.edublogs.org you get a wiki associated with it. You can make (editable) static pages linked from the blog also. So it is a combination of web pages, a wordpress blog and a wikispaces wiki. This is a very useful combination of tools.

recommendations for a wiki farm?
by Charles Ess 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hey all, I'm trying to scout out a good wiki farm for use by a committee that wants to use the wiki as a writing space to note significant events + comments, links to relevant resources, etc. Thanks to the helpful suggestions of a couple of AoIR-ists (you know who are...), we've already become aware of and, to some degree, have tried out: http://www.editme.com/Home http://www.wikispaces.com/ http://www.stikipad.com/ my question: are there other sites that anyone would recommend? Suggestions, especially with comments about your experience (good and bad) would be happily received (and kept confidential, if you prefer).

Re: [Air-l] How Much Information / Information Growth
by William Bain 02 Mar '07

Alexander Semenov wrote: "But my idea was that perhaps this division is somehow connected with modernity. I think, that analogy with leading idea of Georg Simmel's "Philosophy of money" could be very fruitful and interesting. Or it can be connected with processes of rationalization in Max Webers sence. What do you think?" Jose-Carlos Mariategui wrote: "There are other ways of approaching the concept of information. Of course digital data is one of them and that is what I referred when I mentioned the Lyman and Varian 2003 study. The work of Shannon is a much more engineering-based approach that does not cknowledge information as meaning or content, but as discrete syntactic information (information through a channel).... I am basically trying to look upon research being done in how to approach the quantification and qualification of information available today in the world." I like what both of you are saying, as it helps my own perspective. I don't think I can add much more just now but I wanted to say that maybe the modernism connection comes in part from Bertrand Russell's distinction between knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description. He calls the acquaintance type applicable to our knowledge of things and roughly equates it with the French verb connaitre or the German verb kennen. The description type he equates roughly with French savoir or German wissen. Russell says knowledge by description is basically a knowledge of truths. So I accept what you're saying but wanted to put this in somewhere. I'm not familiar with Simmel and only "by description" with Weber (well, a little more, but I still have that debt).
