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.”

The social web: All about the small stuff

From the Google blog: they argue that the benefit of the social web and social technologies is that people are able to stay close to friends because they are aware of the small events going on daily in their lives.

  • I'd argue that a big part of it is the small details that you know about each other.
  • ie they saw two nights before. Closeness often comes from knowing the small things, not just the big things. Distance makes knowing those small things harder. When you live together, either with your family or your friends, knowing the small things is easy. They get con

The social technography of Web 2.0

  • Mac users are more likely to contribute content online than Dell users. Forrester's research found that as many as 48 percent
    of overall web users participate in Web 2.0 sites in some manner or another.
    13 percent of respondents fell into the Creators category, which is quite
    a bit larger than the numbers given by Hitwise last month. Hitwise claimed
    that an extremely
    tiny percentage     of web users are responsible for the content that's consumed
    on Web 2.0-type sites. But Hitwise appears to have only focused on sites like
    YouTube and Flickr, whereas Forrester's research expands on a broader range
    of media, such as blogs and social networking sites.

Information Scent is King: Long Tails & Web 2.0

  • From Pete Pirolli's blog following his Information Foraging workshop at CHI '07. This post is about long tail (everything) distributions, using Amazon and Netflix as examples of how companies who can cater to the long-tail of user preferences can out-compete the brick and mortar companies who are limited in shelf space. - bmevans on 2007-08-30

Looking for SF-Bay Area Diigo users!

  • As part of a user study, I am looking for people who use bookmarking services online (like Diigo!).

    We would like to ask you to complete a short survey. Although it is short, we greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into composing your responses!     - bmevans on 2007-08-02
  • As part of an extended user study, I am looking specifically for Diigo users! I am interested in how people organize and share information online and how does Diigo facilitate these activities. Diigo has many features other social bookmarking sites lack, so I need to find SF-Bay Area users who are willing to share their experiences with me (for compensation!). If you are interested in learning more, please email me: brynn.evans@parc.com. Or complete the survey on the website. Thanks! - bmevans on 2007-08-10

Social Bookmarking Explained (Video)

  • this is a short video explaining how to bookmark, tag, and share links with others in social bookmarking tools, such as del.icio.us. i am curious how much "sharing" actually takes place on del.icio.us, and what people's real motivations are for bookmarking URLs. - bmevans on 2007-08-09

Second Life Avatars Consume As Much Electricity As Brazilians (TreeHugger)

  • With roughly 4000 servers running at full power at all times, the environmental implications of Second Life are not negligible. Stunningly, it turns out that the average Second Life avatar consumes about as much electricity as your average Brazilian! - bmevans on 2007-08-07

The Long Tail of Linking

  • This blogger wants to test out: What if there was a more horizontal approach to linking, meaning that bloggers sought to reference those in their “peer groups” (or below) instead of vertically to those with 3 gazillion links? Could a long tail approach to linking significantly improve readership, comments, traffic, etc.? Could the sum total of crosslinks from middle class bloggers be more significant than one link from a big blogging player? - bmevans on 2007-08-07

Museum 2.0: Hierarchy of Social Participation

  • I believe that, as with basic human needs, experience design in museums (and for other content platforms) can occur on many levels, and that it is hard to achieve the highest level without satisfying, or at least understanding, those that come before it. One of the impediments to discourse in museums is that fact that designers want to jump straight from individuals interacting with content to interacting with each other. It’s a tall order to get strangers to talk to each other, let alone have a meaningful discussion. And so, I offer the following hierarchy of social participation. - bmevans on 2007-08-02

Blue Dot is not just another social bookmarking system

  • The basic premise of the system is that users can tag items into their online archives and befriend other users to share access to part or all of their items saved. The real differentiation, however, is found in the feature set: access to items, images to add to bookmarks, comments from friends (only), flash widget, better search, and soon IM/chat. - bmevans on 2007-08-01
