Hi Ursula There is a report by the Oxford Internet Institute that might be useful for you - it is UK centric rather than pan-European: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/research/oxis/oxis2005_report.pdf All the best Kate

Virtual IR 6.0
by Steve Jones 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

We have made arrangements for several internet-based tools to be used during the upcoming conference in Chicago, for both participants who will be at the conference as well as for those of you unable to be here. All should be up and running by Thursday, Oct. 6, and some, like the wiki, are already available. 1. Tag This Conference! aoir and aoir6 You're it. We need your help to make it easy for all of us to find the websites, pictures & blog entries related to the conference. Just use the tags aoir and aoir6 in del.icio.us, Flickr or with Technorati, then check out http://www.technorati.com/tag/aoir or aoir6 for the combined results. What is tagging? It's a way to give online content a little extra context by adding keywords called tags. Usually people tag their own collections of bookmarks or photographs so that they can find them later, but they can also be used to help other people find online content. When we agree to use the same tag it's easy for everyone to find things. What are del.icio.us, Flickr and Technorati? Del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager where users save their links. Anything with a URL can be bookmarked in del.icio.us and described by tags and extended notes. Flickr is a popular photo sharing site that uses tags. Technorati is a blog indexing site and it collects the tags that bloggers use to describe their posts. It also displays information from del.icio.us and Flickr in its results. Don't want to sign up for these services? No signing up required! Visit http://emt.url123.com/aoir6 for details. 2. The Backchannel Don't wait until the question and answer session to discuss an interesting presentation with your colleagues. Share ideas and comment on papers as they're delivered via Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Each of the AoIR conference rooms has a corresponding chat room for backchannel discussion. Connection details and recommended chat clients will be posted in each room. Increasingly popular at technology conferences and in college classrooms, backchannel discussions allow for quick fact checking and can create a greater sense of community amongst both audience members and presenters. More details about the server and channels will be made available soon. 3. The Conference wiki A wiki is available for each conference session (organized by session, http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Internet_Research_6.0, as well as by meeting room, http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Internet_Research_6.0: _Theme_Pages). Whether you are a presenter, conference participants, AoIR member or air-l subscriber, share your thoughts about each session here. 4. Internet Survey How familiar are you with some of the trendiest Internet developments (such as wikis and blogs)? Would you like to compare your media consumption with that of your parents (and/or children)? Please take 10 minutes of your time to complete a “Generations Survey”. When you finish the questionnaire, you will see a snapshot of the general results. The resulting data will be available to the conference attendees, AoIR members and subscribers to the AoIR e-mail list (air-l). All respondents will be anonymous. Link: http://generations-survey.notlong.com These efforts to use the internet to enhance conference participation are part of a project organized by graduate students at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Data from them will be made anonymous and analyzed for coursework. Thanks particularly to David Elfving and Ericka Menchen Trevino for their work on the technology for it.

AVS Software History
by John Laprise 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

This is a general request for assistance. I am gathering materials for a major research project on the history of Anti-Virus Software (AVS) and would appreciate information on resources for this endeavor. Recent scholarship has focused on software generally or the histories of specific companies. In looking at a genre of software, my project will examine the special role that AVS companies have in the software ecosystem between operating systems, users, and programmers through a critical examination of the history of AVS producers. Any assistance you can provide in obtaining access to useful records or directing me towards knowledgeable individuals would greatly assist my endeavor. Best regards, John Laprise Ph.D. Candidate Media, Technology, and Society School of Communication Northwestern University Evanston, IL USA

Hi Radhika, Regarding use of mobile phones in rural areas: Jonathan Donner, The Earth Institute at Columbia University, has done some interesting studies in Sub-Saharan Africa - he has e.g. presented his work at the Seeing, Understanding, Learning in the Mobile Age- conference in Budapest last April. More info here: http://www.hunfi.hu/mobil/ On the website there's a reference to previous publications and Jonathan published an article in the volume calles Mobile Democracy. Essays on Society, Self and Politics. :-) Gitte Stald -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: air-l-aoir.org-bounces(a)listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] På vegne af Radhika Gajjala Sendt: 26. september 2005 13:03 Til: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Emne: [Air-l] CFH Cell/Mobile phone use in rural areas? ______________________________ Hi, I've been searching for available published work on cell/mobile use (or lack - or implications of use or lack of use etc) in rural areas in order to use in the context of my recent ethnographies from parts of rural and urban Andhra Pradesh (India). I found some that refer to Grameen Bank experiments, to rural Uganda usage etc. But not much on rural US or rural areas of any other "developed" nations of the world. I did find material on urban use of cellphones Š Maybe I am looking in the wrong places.

Provided by the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) of the DOJ, this site offers information about the recent activities of the CCIPS, along with various documents, such as the current manual that lists guidelines for electronic search and seizure investigations. First-time visitors may want to start at the top of the homepage, as they can go ahead and search the entire site by keyword, or look through a few thematic areas, such as those dedicated to hacking, intellectual property crime, and information about cyberethics. Finally, the "General Information" area of the site provides details on how to report Internet-related crime and employment opportunities with the CCIPS.

Hi Fernando You might find some of the resources here useful - if you are not already using them: Digiplay initiative: http://www.digiplay.org.uk/index2.php Report on some US stats here: http://www.gii.co.jp/english/mt23280_video_game.html Market Research in the UK http://www.marketresearch.com/map/prod/1055110.html Also I believe Price Water House Cooper does market stats for the US on this.
