when it was released in May as a free download. But this month its popularity exploded on YouTube, as thousands of fans uploaded videos of themselves dancing — some might say simply flailing — along to the song.
Just because they are dancing doesn't mean they like the song. They may have just seen other videos doing the same thing. If this was released in May why did it take so long to make an impact?
Are the numbers correct though? Some people don't pay for streaming music services but listen to it anyway. Doesn't this make the stats incorrect? What about the number 2 song, is it actually supposed to be number one?
Different types of technology require difterent forms of etiquette [4]. Textmessaging via a
mobile phone is difterent from instant messaging and worlds apart from the asynchronous
experience of email. A short abrupt comment
that is acceptable in instant messaging may not
be in email where some people expect to be
addressed by name. Emotional affordances, syntax, and semantics vary across technology, too.
1-urthermore, new technologies may challenge
previously accepted norms. Who would have
guessed that having a stranger edit one's fastidiously composed prose without first asking;
permission would be acceptable?
Age differences in online behavior in nonacademic environments such as online shopping and purchasing (Sorce, Perotti & Widrick, 2005) or Web search (Grahame, Laberge,
& Scialfa, 2004) have been often discussed in
the literature, but only a small number of studies have been conducted to examine age differences in adult learners' online learning
behavior in academic settings. Those studies
revealed significant differences in online
behavior due to age; however, it is difficult to
conclude age-dependent online behavior based
on the studies because of the contextual or
missing definitions of "younger" and "older"
used in the studies.
