Re: [Air-L] Digital Divide
Can anyone suggest an article or book with data that is as current as possible on the digital divide?
Hi Peter: In the book "Word Matters - Multicultural perspectives on information societies" there is a chapter on "Digital Divide" (May 2006) by Kemly Camacho. Find it here: http://vecam.org/article549.html I underline the following: "to talk about the digital divide and the strategies to face it, one should start out from the society we dream to be and not from the technology." Good luck, Javier -- http://funredes.org/javier

Greetings all! Are any of you aware of key research/resources related to the impact of texting and micro-blogging upon writing style and the formation of young writers? I am working with a student who wants to do a senior seminar in that area, and I'd like to get up to speed with the literature myself.

Hello everybody, I'm interested in any information about sampling and recruiting people in SNS to participate in any kind of online surveys, panels, questionnaires etc. After some googling I've found only several blog postings, like this ones: http://kurtisrandom.blogspot.com/2007/11/sampling-massive-online-social-netw... http://vannevarvision.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/review-analysis-of-topologica... http://researchreinvented.blogspot.com/2007/12/recruiting-using-social-netwo... But I wonder whether there are any "serious" articles on the question? Thanks in advance. Alexander Semenov.
Did you ever get a response to this? I'm also interested. I'm writing up my experiences of recruiting for research using online bulletin board / forums. I also used Facebook but not extensively. I imagine there would be some interesting methodological and ethical questions to consider through these modes of recruitment. Monica 2009/2/6 Alexander Semenov <semenoffalex@googlemail.com>

The only article I've seen out of a methods journal that deals with this directly appeared recently: Ferguson, D. A. (2009). Name-Based Cluster Sampling. Sociological Methods & Research, 37(4), 590-598. Drawing on memory, most of the within-SNS sampling I've seen, for small sample studies, uses either snowball or invitation sampling. I've also seen use of advertising (both through paid placement and ad hoc methods - groups, reposting of solicitation). For large-scale samples, I've seen both randomized and targeted crawling of a SNS. Mike Thelwall's papers on Myspace provide a good example. Notably, most of the medium-sized samples involve extra-SNS solicitation (generally some sort of list-based sample). This is mainly used for survey research.

As for me - I didn't try such sampling. I was simply gathering material about it. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Monica Barratt Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 8:06 AM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Sampling and recruiting in Social Networking Services Did you ever get a response to this?
