Hvad er online communities for en størrelse? Igen: De må pr. definition være medier af tredje grad Her er et eksempelet eksempel Er de en form for kommunikation (altså udveksling af meddelelser)?

Transmissionsmodellen Shannon, C. E., & Weaver, W. (1963). The Mathematical Theory of Communication. Urbana: University of Illinois Press. Original Publication: 1949, ISBN: 0252725484. P. 7.

Eller? A ritual view of communication is directed not towards the extension of messages in space but toward the maintenance of society in time; not the act of imparting information but the representation of shared beliefs (Carey p. 18)
7
Er de en form for kommunikation som ritual? One must examine communication […] as the primary phenomena of experience and not as something ”softer” and derivative from a ”realer” existent nature (Carey p. 26). Hvordan opleves Arto af brugerne? Som en primær virkelighed, som en udvandet udgave af en udenforliggende virkelighed, eller som en kombination?

Blogs (Nardi et al.) ”a series of archived Internet posts typically characterized by brief texts entered in reverse chronological order and generally containing hypertext links to other sites recommended by the author”
10
Hvad er en blog? Reverse chronological journaling (format) Regular, date-stamped entries [with permalink - CB] (timeliness) Links to related news articles, documents, blog entries within each entry (attribution) Archived entries (old content remains accessible) Links to related blogs (blogrolling) RSS or XML feed (ease of syndication) Passion (voice) Gill, K.

Three levels of privacy Listed –On commercial blog-sites list of blogs Unlisted –Can be detected via ’referrer’ data in followed links Password protected –Must log in to view, but can still be quoted
13
Five reasons to blog Documenting the author's life Providing commentary and opinions Expressing deeply felt emotions Working out ideas through writing (blog as muse) Forming and maintaining communities or forums
14
Design recommendations Integration with online communication and document management tools Photoware Searching and indexing Audience specificity and privacy Group blogs Quality control Ease of use
15
Teenage blogs (Huffaker & Calvert) Blogs were retrieved using search strings such as "teens," "teen blogs," and "teenager," yielding 347 teen blogs. After reviewing each link, and removing inactive URLs or links to sites created by adults (including 18- and 19-year- olds), 184 blogs remained (males = 63, females = 121), which represents the final sample of active teenage blogs
16
Sampling method Because of the abundance of female blog results, the sample was separated by gender and a stratified random sampling method was employed to even the sample. The final sample consisted of a total of 70 weblogs, equally distributed across male and female authors
17
Disclosure of personal information
18
Use of emoticons

22
Traditional language differences In other CMC contexts, studies have found that females use language that is polite, appreciative, and cooperative (Herring, 2000, 2001; Savicki, 1996) By contrast, males use language that is more confident (Arnold & Miller, 1999), more aggressive, and less concerned with politeness (Herring, 2000, 2001)
23
The role of identity In previous work, identity has been approached in terms of the relationships between the internal experience, such as personality and self-definition, and the external world, such as social relationships and shared values (Erikson, 1993; Freud, 1989; Jung, 1976; Lacan, 1986) The Internet has provided a new context for identity exploration, as the virtual world provides a venue to explore a complex set of relationships that is flexible and potentially anonymous
24
On the internet, everybody knows if you’re a dog! While this study supports the social interactionist perspective, in as much as language is being used to construct and reflect adolescent identity (Harter, 1998), multiple "public" faces were not the norm. Instead, our data suggest a tendency for adolescents to use language to create an anchor and a consistent public face as they engage in the very serious business of constructing a stable cohesive set of representations of who they are
25
Girlpower! Interestingly, the blogs created by young males and females are more alike than different. Perhaps the technical ease of use of blogs levels the differences between males and females, or perhaps this generation of Internet users is becoming more androgynous in its online communication and interaction
