Internet as a Social Ally
How do people use the Internet to solve problems? We find that a significant portion of online Americans turn to the Internet at times because it seems to fulfill their needs more readily and thoroughly than the people in their community network do. We present evidence of when people use the Internet versus seeking the assistance of friends and family and possible reasons for this behavior. This research demonstrates how, to what extent, when and why the Internet supplements people's lives.
Internet changes the rules for researchers
“The concern for internet research is that regulations are firmly rooted in face-to-face settings and the literature culture of paper and print,” Beddows says. “In order to relieve the problems associated with online research, there needs to be an effort made to develop methodological guidelines that take into account both the unique nature of the internet, and its relationship to the physical world.”
Know the Net (to get information you need)
"When you know the net you can quickly get to the information or resources you need in your local community.

NEC is a mix of essays written for the list, essays written for other outlets, drafts of ideas I’m pursuing, and reader commentary (re-printed only with permission, of course). The list will be very low volume, with an approximately twice-monthly frequency, and the contents will also be archived on shirky.com.
