Hello everyone, This is my first post to the list. My name is Martin Calvert and I'm currently a PhD student in the department of Central & East European Studies, at the University of Glasgow. My research interests are related to the use of social networking websites in Russia. At the moment I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to current theory about internet research. One thing that has struck me though is the way in which many books/articles discussing internet/social networking issues are written. It often seems like authors take quite a conversational approach, often adding amusing (though illustrative) anecdotes and pop culture references beyond the remit of the work. Is there a Generation X thing at play here?

Barry and Ellis,
For the last year, we have been looking at experimental designs that incorporate RFID.
I attended a conference where the badges were RFID and when I approached someone that shared my interests (logged at registration) the badges not only recorded the data but beeped on both badges to inform us that we were kindred spirits. It was awesome. Can you imagine this for group research?
