So I pick “out of the blue” even though (I think) I can see them coming from a mile away.”
– Stephen Downes, National Research Council, Canada
Netsukuku provides a possibility of virtually piping the connection through the conventional internet, in case a node isn’t within reach of another’s wifi connection, and presumably also to bridge the long range connections between the single wifi bubbles that may be quite a distance removed from each other, making wifi inoperable for that purpose.
Netsukuku is a p2p based new routing protocol that could - for the purpose of linking users’ computers in a p2p cloud - replace the IP numbers-based addressing and routing that is the system currently in use to link servers to users in the internet.

However, Facebook is clearly keeping a gimlet eye on its reputation with regard to child safety: the Guardian reports that the network is threatening to sue the Daily Mail, over an article which claimed that 14-year-old girls who create Facebook profiles could be contacted "within seconds" by paedophiles who "wanted to perform a sex act" in front of them.The researcher behind the article (despite appearances, not the author) says the paper inserted the claim into the story, even though he told them that the site he tested was not in fact Facebook.

Working with a collaborator, Italian activist-researcher-writer Marco Berlinguer, Wainwright is now doing research responding to “the exhaustion of our existing institutions, including many of those on the Left.” We have to address material institutions and the political economy of virtual institutions. How do we safeguard virtual commons?”
Hillary Wainwright is one of the finest people I have met over the last few years, so I’m happy to share this profile, written by my friend David Bollier :
“If you want to learn the nitty-gritty about social transformation in our times — What works and what doesn’t?

Our paper was an extension of the research we have been doing on leadership in virtual worlds that I wrote about previously . This paper focused on how one’s online identity may affect virtual team member perceptions and how virtual teams work together. Organizations have to decide how much and if they are going to set rules or guidelines for how employees present themselves, especially as options for expression expand to I just returned from the Academy of Management conference in Chicago where I presented a paper that Surinder and I wrote with Professor Rui Huang .

At FreshNetworks we make the most of strong research credentials, both in our specific online research communities , but also helping all of our clients make the most of the insight they can get from online communities . Rather ingratiatingly I’m one of them and now get to wait to see if I make the top 10.

We’ve written before about the real power that online research communities can bring to a brand, and also of the way in which you can get insight from any online community . At FreshNetworks we have built online communities from scratch, and also worked with organisations who have an incumbent online research community that isn’t living up to its promise.

Surinder and I are currently attending the Mardi Gras conference on virtual worlds in Baton Rouge along with our colleague Rui Huang . We are here to present our paper that I discussed in last week’s post and also to hear the exciting work that others are pursuing in and around virtual worlds. am amazed by the breadth of interests that people have in the area and the innovative research that has been conducted on topics such as I One major take away that we have gotten from the conference is that people are still struggling to understand what virtual worlds are

have conflicting views about the ethics of online peer project research. And now: What do Wikipedia’s unique features, both in terms of its democratic promise and its socio-technical characteristics, mean for the ethics of Internet research?
Wikipedia research necessarily involves dealing with conflict. First, some background: In the chapter of my book Cyberchiefs on governance in the English-language Wikipedia, there is a section, as in all my case studies, which deals with conflict. Within this section there is a sub-section which focuses on the management of disruptive

In February this year a survey on the market research industry in 2009 showed two very different pictures. The research, sponsored by online-oriented companies Cambiar, MRops and Peanut Labs, found that whilst clients and agencies alike predicted a small growth in the market of about 1%, this did not tell the full story. There are a number of reasons for clients bringing research inhouse. Although they saw the market growing slightly in 2009, they thought that the proportion of work that was brought inhouse would increase significantly.
