A wonderful Udine experience
I want to publicly thank Leopoldina Fortunati for inviting me to lecture to her fascinating media group at the dynamic University of Udine, in northeastern Italy -- near the Slovenian and Austrian borders. Lots of smart people and good discussion, and Polda is the ultimate host. Udine itself is fascinating: both old and new. Got a cashmere sweater there for one-third the Milan price. In this year's fashionable lavender-purple colour. Barry Wellman _______________________________________________________________________ S.D.

As wonderful as both Leopoldina and Udine are I wonder if this mailing is more appropriate as a tweet than as a contribution to this list Barry? What did you have for breakfast there?

I appreciate your comment, Brian. I wanted to thank Polda publicly in our community. I think if we want to label inappropriate, I could comment on at least one per day.

Dear All, Is there any surveys about user behavior in regard to lurker activity in FB - do they lurk, or how many actually lurk and how many just have a profile without using FB, or just play games... ? Best Regards Jesper Jesper Tække Assistant Professor, PhD Information and Media Studies Aarhus University http://www.jespertaekke.dk imvjet@hum.au.dk
Dear All, I would like to inform you that the articles of the special issue "Identity and the social web" of IDIS Journal are now available online (Open Access). About the journal IDIS (Identity in the Information Society) http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/12394 Identity in the Information Society (IDIS) is an international, multidisciplinary journal created in 2008 that promotes the study of identity in the information society. IDIS specifically encourages articles from different disciplinary sources, reflecting the broad nature of the topic with its interwoven concerns of law, technology, and information systems alongside other social, political and management issues. Special Issue: Social Web and Identity Articles: 0) Editorial: Social web and identity: a likely encounter Thierry Nabeth, INSEAD http://www.springerlink.com/content/l84mt42267347524/ 1) Mick or Keith: Blended Identity of Online Rock Fans Andrea Baker, Ohio University. This paper discusses the "blended identity" of online rock fans to show that the standard dichotomy between anonymous and real life personas is an inadequate description of self-presentation in online communities. http://www.springerlink.com/content/u3q4146162768qg8/ 2) Constructing academic alter-egos: Identity issues in a blog-based community Vanessa Paz Dennen, Florida State University This paper discusses how bloggers of Blogademe (consists of an informal network of blogs written by people who identify themselves as academics) who have affiliated with each other to form a loosely knit community develop largely pseudonymous identities along with norms surrounding the development and performance of identity. http://www.springerlink.com/content/y11333314052n622/ 3) Social networks and web 2.0: are users also bound by data protection regulations? Brendan Van Alsenoy, Joris Ballet, Aleksandra Kuczerawy, Ku-Leuven & ICT - IBBT The purpose of this article is to investigate the liability of users of social network sites under data protection (e.g. Directive 95/46/EC) and to assess the extent to which the current framework can sufficiently accommodate the new realities of web 2.0 and social networking applications http://www.springerlink.com/content/u11161037506t68n/ 4) Privacy Concerns and Identity in Online Social Networks Hanna Krasnova, Oliver Günther, Sarah Spiekermann, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Driven by privacy-related fears, some users of Online Social Networks have started to reduce their network activities. Very little is understood about the privacy-related concerns of users and the impact of those concerns on identity performance. To close this gap, we take a systematic view of user privacy concerns on such platforms. http://www.springerlink.com/content/l371174132178uwm/ 5) A Comparison of Privacy Issues in Collaborative Workspaces and Social Networks Martin Pekárek, Stephanie Pötzsch, Tilburg University Two of types of Web 2.0 applications - collaborative workspaces and social network sites - have a number of features in common, which are explored to provide a basis for comparative analysis. This basis is extended with a suitable definition of privacy, a sociological perspective and an applicable adversary model in order to facilitate an investigation of similarities and differences with regard to privacy threats. http://www.springerlink.com/content/g54qk93430581554/ Best regards, Thierry PS: I have recorded the IDIS journal in the AOIR Wiki http://wiki.aoir.org/ in http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Journals . Maybe it could be a good idea to create an article for each of the journal (including examples of references) instead of just having the links to the home pages.
