Use of Social Network Sites in Govt and Business
Hi there, Does anyone know where I can find information about how Government agencies and/or Businesses are using online social network sites as part of their communication and marketing strategies. I would appreciate any links to reports, news articles, example sites, papers, etc. of any thing you know of. I'm looking for these in the next couple of hours. Thank you!

Hi, all. I'm a relative newcomer to AOIR and I've been impressed with the quality and quantity of information being shared here! Many thanks to the generous community for all your efforts. I am particularly interested in tourism, critical discourse, online communities of consumption and the merging of virtual and tangible destinations, i.e. Ascher's hyperplaces with Eglash's (after Sabel and Piore) Flexible Economic Networks. I am not at all sure of the overlap between this list and other tourism/leisure/sociology/geographic lists such as Trinet (sounds like a good SNA project?) and would welcome an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded scholars. My experience to date suggests much good work is being completed in the semiotic or critical analysis of tourism, and a large degree of investment in "hard" informatics to increase operational efficiency (groups such as IFITT), but not much at all happening in the nexus of these two areas. I have been fortunate to work with colleagues at NZTRI on such projects as destination web-raising and community informatics, but am eager to know what else is happening out there?

Hi Gordon: Have you considered museums like The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA. USA which has an virtual and live presence and an edutainment presence when you visit the museum. The Texas Institute of Cultures is doing the same thing in San Antonio. Disney is doing it in Orlando, and the Hollywood studios are doing it Los Angeles.

Hello! I think the virtual information helps us to give us an idea of a place, but is very distinct smell, eat and live on site. The virtual landscape conveys no magnetism or emotions. Rgds, Rosa María

Thanks all for the suggestions thus far. Rosa Maria, I'm struggling with this one: "The virtual landscape conveys no magnetism or emotions." While I certainly appreciate where you are coming from and support the current move toward place appreciation in such projects as geotourism, slow food, etc. I think the statement might be a bit strong? My experience suggests that while organized tourism has created many contrived and monotonous landscapes (see Relph on Placelessness?) people are using virtual spaces such as WWW to express and socially construct meaning in their "real world" experiences? I look forward to struggling further! :-) Cheers, GT -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Rosa María Merino Sent: Friday, 13 February 2009 12:52 p.m. To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Any Tourism Folks on Air-L?

Rosa Maria, My earlier experiences as a tourist led me to many places that had no magnetism, and only evoke negatived emotions in me. But being online has given me the means to construct my own tourist¹ experience from information on the web, which has enriched my travel experiences no end.

Hi there,
[You may know about these already but...] I have found the 'Topical Bibliographies' <http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Topical_Bibliographies#Social_Networking_Sites>page from the AoirWiki to be very helpful for getting ideas going...and for your particular inquiry, danah boyd's 'Research on Social Network Sites' bibliography <http://www.danah.org/SNSResearch.html> may be a nice site to check out.

Hi Yifeng, We have done a fairly extensive review of the educational research literature databases and table of contents scans in a dozen leading educational research journals looking for published empirical work on the incorporation of Web 2.0 technologies, especially SNSs into teaching and learning. In our experience, most of the current scholarship focuses on the integration of blogs and wikis and, to a lesser extent, podcasting. There are few studies that focus on the integration of SNSs in education or study SNSs from educational perspectives; that said, there are some studies that focus on SNSs as they are being used on college campuses. See for example this latest ECAR study 2008 with chapter on SNSs: http://connect.educause.edu/Library/Abstract/TheECARStudyofUndergradua/47485 In addition, the Digital Youth Project focuses on young people's use of SNSs and other digital media outside of schools -- http://digitalyouth.ischool.berkeley.edu/ You might also be interested in Aleman & Wartman (2009) Online Social Networking on Campus: Understanding What Matters in Student Culture. New York: Routledge -- came out Jan, 09 Finally, my colleagues and I have a few articles coming out that you may be interested in that deal with high school students' learning with SNSs/development of 21st century competencies. Moreover, we will have a draft of the literature review I mention this spring, if you're interested.

Dear Christine, Thank you for your leads. I, too, am a doctoral student interested in this area and would be very interested to read your literature review when it is ready. I hope you will keep me in mind when you are finally ready to circulate a draft. Thank you very much, Tina Tina Matuchniak Graduate Student University of California, Irvine -------------------------------------------------- From: "Chris Greenhow" <greenhow@umn.edu> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 12:28 PM To: <air-l@listserv.aoir.org>; <hu@tcnj.edu> Subject: Re: [Air-L] Research on Incorporating Web 2.0 Technologies(Especially SNSs) in Teaching
Hi Yifeng,
We have done a fairly extensive review of the educational research literature databases and table of contents scans in a dozen leading educational research journals looking for published empirical work on the incorporation of Web 2.0 technologies, especially SNSs into teaching and learning. In our experience, most of the current scholarship focuses on the integration of blogs and wikis and, to a lesser extent, podcasting. There are few studies that focus on the integration of SNSs in education or study SNSs from educational perspectives; that said, there are some studies that focus on SNSs as they are being used on college campuses. See for example this latest ECAR study 2008 with chapter on SNSs: http://connect.educause.edu/Library/Abstract/TheECARStudyofUndergradua/47485
In addition, the Digital Youth Project focuses on young people's use of SNSs and other digital media outside of schools -- http://digitalyouth.ischool.berkeley.edu/
You might also be interested in Aleman & Wartman (2009) Online Social Networking on Campus: Understanding What Matters in Student Culture. New York: Routledge -- came out Jan, 09
Finally, my colleagues and I have a few articles coming out that you may be interested in that deal with high school students' learning with SNSs/development of 21st century competencies. Moreover, we will have a draft of the literature review I mention this spring, if you're interested.
Best wishes,
Christine

Hi all, It is also my first time writing in the list. This week I have started a course on International Accounting where I am using a SNS to connect around 100 people in the class. I have prepared an "emerging paper" on this experience and looking forward to getting the results by the end of May. I would be very interested to keep in contact with other researchers working on this. My field is finance and accounting, but my PhD research is based on Webometric techniques. I am trying also to explore Web 2.0 tools in the class and report on the experience. Dear Christine I would also be very interested to read your literature review when it is ready.
