Presentation suggestions:
choose a virtual community or blog
describe the community or blog in terms we’ve used in the class (relate to readings in Gillmor and Into the Blogosphere and others where appropriate)
evaluate the community’s or blogs potentials and inherent conflicts and resolutions
does the community or blog develop trust? how? is it an example of citizen journalism? how?(Gillmor)
are there hierarchies in place? are issues of gender or age or ethnicity or other issues and raised in Internet in Every Day Life readings — who are the community of readers and participants? is the social network measurable?
are “loose ties” apparent (Granovetter)? how do they work in this community or blog?
how does the interface (see Preece) allow for sociability or block social interactions?
An example of a Friendster paper/presentation and one of a family blog and one on Tribe (using Blogger).
