Hi all, I hope those of you studying and thinking about social software will consider attending a workshop danah boyd, Scott Golder and I are organizing for the upcoming Communities and Technologies conference this summer. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers studying social software, especially social network sites. We anticipate a workshop that includes many opportunities for cross-fertilization, deep thinking, and fruitful connections.

Belarusian Online Journalism: Citizens' Generated Content And Web 2.0: The use of the Internet as a news source has increased in Belarus during the recent years. Meanwhile, in spite of the new possibilities opened up by online tools and technologies, Belarusian online media seem to have based their strategies on traditional journalism techniques. A survey of Belarusian mass media online conducted by e-belarus.ORG in 2006 revealed that the number and quality of Belarusian media online initiatives showed them to be in the period of infancy. The overwhelming majority of them fell within the category of the news sites with very limited editorial news and some form of participatory communication. http://www.e-belarus.org/article/onlinejournalism2007.html
