Hello,
I'm doing some research with people involved in non-profit organizations an=
d
their use of 'new media'. I am trying to find out how exactly they use
technology to organize and navigate through information, what types of
information is transferred between groups and why users essentially engage
the technology =8B in this case, for social change.
I'm interested in gaining a deeper understanding about horizontal and
vertical flows of communication, physical connectivity, data communality,
interactivity and ease of use in organizing social-change networks within a
technological framework for democratic advancement.
I'm preparing a focus group session, and with such a wealth of different
ideas/individuals/thoughts on this listserve, I was wondering if any of you
had some ideas as to what types of questions you would ask...what
explorations do you think are worthy in this area? What specific questions
would you ask if you were in this focus group with non-profits?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide...I will be sure to share
any information I gain from the meeting.

The best place to begin for all things blogging would be
http://www.larkfarm.com/weblog_madness.htm - Weblog Madness. My (on-hold)
thesis was/is on identity/autobiography/media and weblogs, with a heavy
splash of Fouacault, so if you need some links etc, email me off list and
I'll be happy to provide.

Hi,
I would be interested to hear of any work done on blogging or blogs (weblogs), either published or as presentations. Initially I just want to get an idea of who is blogging (gender, age) and why, what is in the blogs, how popular they are, and so on.
Perhaps if there is enough interest I could summarize to the list.
Many thanks!

Hi Everyone;
My first post to AoIR. Hello everyone! I'm on the organizing
committee for the AoIR conference in Toronto, so I'll probably end up
posting more as the time goes on.
Thanks to Barry Wellman for pointing out this strand to me, or I may
not have noticed for a couple of days. I've been playing about with
blogging for a couple of years. I run or coordinate about 15-20
blogs, and am coordinating some doctoral research into teacher
professionalization using Blogs as data collection tools, and have
run/helped run blogs with secondary, undergrad and graduate classes.
I'm presently heading a team putting together an educationally
focused blogging software tool called Edublog (Edublog.com) and we're
in early beta testing of the tool. Members of our edublog team have
used, or are using most of the major (and some of the minor) blogging
tools (blogger.com, Livejournal.com (deadjournal.com) greymatter
(noahgrey.com/greysoft/ now greylogs.com) thraxil.dhs.org) For a
good overview on blogging for writers, have a look at a short article
published this month in E2k (www.netauthor.org/e2k/) called " Ceci
n'est pas un blog!". One of my research assistants has spent the year
putting together a wonderful blog listing all the articles on
blogging she could find on the net. The list is chronological as she
found them, and she's presently organizing them into groups. The list
is at http://edublog.forestry.utoronto.ca/~laurel/ (this address will
change to edublog.org/~laurel pretty soon, and the old address will
not work after around May 2002). There is also some blogging info in
"A report on Future Trends for Online Learning Environments in North
America" (http://achieve.utoronto.ca/papers/VivendiReport.html)
If anyone's doing work in blogs, or wants to be kept informed on what
we're doing, please email me.
Hope this helps, and stimulates some discussion on what is, to me,
one of the coolest things going on on the net.
Jason
Oh, my blog is jasonnolan.net ;-)

Check out http://blogdex.media.mit.edu/ -- they are like the Yahoo/DMOZ/Google
of the blog world. You can even type in a blog URL and they will list the
blogs it points to, and the blogs pointing to it. Enough data to do a simple
ego network.

I've been following both this thread and the one re: newsgroup research with
interest. In the process of analysing and writing up a two year part/obs
study of a usenet group (100K posts) and an extensive survey, I've looked
in detail at the lurker issue, and if anyone is interested, I can email a summary
of the results so far.

Earlier I mentioned the hilarious MovieOS, which does all the things
computers in Hollywood movies do. I finally tracked down its origins (?) to
the Userfriendly comic. The storyline about the MovieOS starts here:
http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20010111
and continues for a couple of weeks (you'll have to click through a couple
of different storylines that intersect with this storyline, but it's worth
it).
There's also a nice page "Things Computers Can Do in Movies" (with a couple
of references to movies) here:
http://curby.dhs.org/data/quotes/MovieComputing.html
Enjoy :)
Frank.
Ben,
No I live in Toronto, but of course I am
very familiar with South East London.
I taught at Goldsmiths College in 1994-96,
and I am working on an electronic project
called Coalition against hate online
and racism anywhere which is a
co-publication of Thirdnet Limited (my
publishing company) and the Centre for
Urban and Community Research at
Goldsmiths. It incorporates memories
and witness of the growth of diversity,
community, and justice in Lewisham
drawn from Joan Anim Addos work and
the lifelong work of others. It is
dedicated to everyone who knows or
remembers Laurie Grove SE14 and the
remarkable community of researchers
there, and it celebrates affinity
across and in spite of the processes
of globalization.
I am familiar with your action research
in Ethical Strife. I am sure Morley,
McRobbie and Geraghty at Goldsmiths will
be interested in it too, hence I cc to
them.
Perhaps we can chat about your work in Internet and the Large Group sometime.
Big up the Marquis of Granby for me.
No strife, my opener is just a reference
to the blocking of a post I made. I
have a few points as a scholar of Internet,
and as a Dad, to make to the assembled
Association of Internet Researchers at this critical time in defining public service internet and commercial internet and the
ethics and the Law that applies to each.
Take care
Lachlan Brown
Don't know yet..
I live just down the road from Goldsmiths - do you live in this part of
London?

Couple of weeks ago I asked for help with finding movie scenes in which
technology is integrated into everyday life situations of the movie
characters. Thank you so much for lots of great responses, both on the list
and to me personally. I have created a very (unsophisticated) simple website
where you can look at the list of movies and additional comments made on the
list.
