Hi everyone, I am a new member of the list. I am a research assistant at the research group on ICT uses in Migrations (in Paris, http://ticmigrations.fr/) I would like to ask you some "bibliographical" questions as regards some of our projects : 1) The first one (not directly linked to migrations) is a project on social network dataportability in the framework of which we do a survey on "multiple social platform uses", the aim being to better know : how users manage their presence and friendships on many platforms (SNS, blogs, etc.) ? how do they "divide" their identity ? How do they migrate from one plateform to another ? Is dataportability necessary for users (desired ? considered dangerous ?). We are now looking for papers dealing with these issues (directly or indirectly). Do you have some suggestions because our researches are, for the moment, very disappointing ? 2) We are also working on a paper dedicated to the "blogosphere of migrant embroideresses" in which we deal with the notion of *patchwork* as "defining" web 2.0 : considering web 2.0 as a form of patchwork/handicraft (also contributing to the revitalization of "tradition") and rethinking the idea of "cultural patchwork". Do you know some papers about handicraft (or patchwork, knit, etc...) and the web ? (I know some american works, for example published in "The Journal of Modern Craft" ? But what about researches in sociology, information & communication sciences ? Finally, as regards the discussion on this list on race in social media, I wanted to let you know that we wrote an article on the *ethnicisation *of love/matrimonial web to be published in the French journal (in French) * Reseaux* (in an issue on "Connected Migrants : Mobility, Migrations, ICT"). We are also doing now some experiments on "race identifications" on the french blog plateform Skyrock (used in majority by adolescents and young adults). Best Regards. Matthieu.
