AoIRers, A colleague is searching for a couple of good examples of analysis of visual data in social research to employ in the context of a course on qualitative research methods for MA-level students. I imagine there's a lot of good Web-related material out there, so please could I have your suggestions. Many Thanks, Maura Maura Conway Teaching Fellow School of International Relations University of St. Andrews St. Andrews KY16 9AL Scotland Tel.: +44 (0)1334 462939 Fax.: +44 (0)1334 462937 E-mail: mc52(a)st-andrews.ac.uk

Each Dane sends 102 SMS messages per month
by Charlie Breindahl 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

In the first six months of 2004, the 5.4 million Danes have sent 2,958,045,000 SMS messages - or 102 per month on average. In the same period, the Danes sent 4,367,000 MMS messages. SMS messages are short text messages sent from and received on mobile phones. MMS messages are multi-media SMS messages, predominantly sent from camera phones. The use of SMS messages is predominantly a youth phenomenon, but SMS is increasingly used instead of phone-in voting and in mail-in competitions.
