Ethereal Archives: The Evolution of Information Structures from Social Networks and Their Impact on Collective and Personal Identity
How do collective archives emerge from the individual digital memories of participants in social networks, facilitated by social software? Networks in northern California are studied and described as “ethereal archives” because they are widely distributed, linked through blogs, microblogs, and other locations in which content is always changing. Digital technology allows preservation of memories, and…

Final Version
Update: Accepted. 🙂 Now just have to find a way to pay for the trip. Thanks to Mirko for the valuable feedback, to Jonathan for encouragement, and to Pirate Cat Radio, Baghdad by the Bay, for music to write by. I submitted this today for the MiT6 conference. Ethereal Archives: The Evolution of Information Structures…

Rough draft of an abstract
This is due tomorrow and this will be replaced by the final version when that’s done. In the meantime, suggestions are welcome. And yes, my dear tweeple, and Facebook friends, and other connections, probably I will pester you for interviews or some such… You will be immortalized in academia –if you aren’t already! 😉 This…

Also While in SF….
I got to hang out with people I know mainly through the Twitterverse, which was really great. When I was there last October for Arse Elektronika (an entry I have yet to post, come to think of it) I had the pleasure of not only meeting some of the people from Monochrom, (who are Austrian)…

Bernhard Rieder and Algorithmic Proximity at IR9
The last talk I saw that I’ll report was Bernhard’s, on Algorithmic Proximity. Bernhard started off with background on the work he and Mirko have done that led up to the hybrid foam model, but his main question in this talk was to look at lower level sociality, such as in sites like Flickr, where…

This panel considers the complexity of relationships among users, and between users and system designers. In particular, each paper…

New Media with Dutch Characteristics. Or Female. Or?
Right now I’m reading a book for which I will be writing a review any day now… Anyway, it’s called Cyberfeminism in Northern Lights, anthology that looks at how women use computer technology and ICTs in Scandinavian countries. The editors, Jenny Sunden (no website I could find?!) and Malin Sveningsson Elm argue that most books…

More about Facebook
Since I am speaking at two different conferences about the way people participate in Facebook, I have been (believe it or not) reading about Facebook, about relationships online, about what motivates participation, and so on. here are a few things I’ve noticed: Though it was noted at least 5 months ago that many faculty are…

"Appropriate " use of Facebook and similar sites
In a recent talk, Danah Boyd said that she doesn’t use these social networking sites the way teenagers do, nor should she. Now the first point is inarguable, but the second struck me as rather odd. I don’t see that there is any “should” about it. I mean, call me immature, but while yes, I…

NNT, Day 2
Here I am again and this time I’ve snagged a seat near one of the few electrical outlets in this lecture hall. I’ll try to catch up some of my earlier notes before the morning plenary starts–we’re already 15 minutes late though… Yesterday I also saw Tiziania Terranova and she had interesting things to say…
