In this trend or its consent, the medium was considered solely in regard to its characteristics and linguistic or conceptual research potential, with no thought to the social dimension of its technical nature.
Precisely, another project by UBERMORGEN.COM, carried out with Alessandro Ludovico and Paolo Cirio, titled GWEI - Google Will Eat Itself (2005), was about the more or less obvious processes of subjugation of all communicative dynamics in the network-system to the commercial interests of only a few companies. This is the text from a presentation at Medialab Prado in Madrid, by Juan Martín Prada, for the Inclusiva-net meeting in July 2009.

The blogherald reports on over 50 million blogs in April 2005. New research and opinion-forming analysis is quickly disseminated and discussed. I searched to find out about the number of people blogging in the South. Counting local services it's reported that there are 2 million in China, 1 million in South America and an insignificant number in Africa, though there is a growing number of bloggers in South Africa (must be due to Brenda who started there :)).

In July I was in Ghana to work with a network on ICT for development called GINKS ) and met Janet Kwami, an interesting researcher for the London School of Economics and Political Science.

understand his ideas and research much better reading a full book rather than all kind of short articles. I had some questions about the fact that his research included only IBM employees, but the reason is that all other (non-cultural) factors are equalised as far as possible. Since the main research took place between 1968-1972 it would be interesting to know more about how cultures evolve. (over Another onion. This time I read Culture and organisations, software of the mind by Geert Hofstede (I read the Dutch version: A llemaal andersdenkenden ).

Even though there is no single best way of doing a community readiness assessment I think it's good to share our experiences, even though the official research brief for public use is not ready yet. As soon as the research brief is ready, I'll try and link to it. Beth Kanter asked (by the way this is not Beth in the picture, this is the REAL Sinterklaas): What types of analysis questions would ask at the beginning of a COP project assessment? I am a bit slow in responding, because I had to figure out how to deal with comments.

The figure has now survived and been commercialised. See [link] for a story by Laura Koetter of 4 weeks research into perspectives on the reunification. Last week we visited Berlin. In Berlin it's hard to escape the story of the 'ampelmannchen' at the trafic light. The traffic light man (the right picture) of former Eastern Berlin was designed in 1961 by Traffic Minister and psychologist Karl

What is very interesting is that in development work we often talked about Western cultures versus Southern cultures, but the research of Hofstede shows there are huge differences between countries like Germany and the UK for instance. From the same book by Hofstede as in the previous post (lots of onions today): people who think up theories are products of their countries, families, schools and employers as well and hence bring their own cultural dimensions to theory. For instance Fayol was a french engineer whose theory about authority distinguishes formal and personal authority.

It is a reconstruction of events, readings and weblog posts that shaped my understanding of the research ethics in relation to my PhD research.
It’s still early in my PhD research and I have not give much thought to ethical questions of doing it. While doing it I realise that my previous research experiences do not provide any guidelines about using and quoting publicly available weblog data in a publication. This piece is from my dissertation. I
