This is a great tool for constructing metadata for your coding that can be used by research other than your own!
Internet Archive: Wayback Machine - 0 views

The Wayback Machine! This is a great tool for retrieving old copies of web sites or completely defunct/ missing websites. It has been helpful for me to delve into everyday digital content (calendars, announcements, etc.) that wasn't archived clearly. It also gave me access to abandoned sites years after the community had moved on.

And, depending on the site, can be a sort of auto-ethnographic document or snapshot...great for comparing design changes and/or significant shifts that might occur when a community changes (rather than moves on). Sort of an archaeology, I suppose.
Using digital technology for collective ethnographic observation: An experiment on 'com... - 5 views

"n this article, we use digital technologies (the Subcam and Webdiver) to capture, share and analyze collectively specific user experience. We examine the transition between 'outside' and 'inside' when people come home, and the steps needed to build the 'being-at-home' feeling" (from Abstract)

Might be nice to read this in either week 6 or 7, depending on how other readings stack up. Looks to have been published in 2010, and the mash of digital tech and domestic space might give us some great ideas to discuss.

The website contains the following statement under the heading "Intellectual Property and Ethical Issues": "Ethical considerations are handled primarily by individual depositors, based on (a) their arrangements with their primary consultants regarding consent and permission and (b) their concern for materials they do not wish to make public. While guidelines for ethical ethnographic research behavior have been around for many years, the methods of gathering permissions for recordings have varied widely in the decades since video technology has been employed as part of fieldwork" This seems to bring to light the concerns being presented when dealing with materials recorded over a large time period, where ethical considerations chanced considerably. This might be a good project to talk about when we are discussing the ethics of digitization.
Camgirls: Celebrity and Community in the Age of Social Networks (Theresa Senft) - Acade... - 1 views
-
[Synopsis] This book is a critical and ethnographic study of camgirls: women who broadcast themselves over the web for the general public while trying to cultivate a measure of celebrity in the process. The book's over-arching question is, "What does it mean for feminists to speak about the personal as political in a networked society that encourages women to 'represent' through confession, celebrity, and sexual display, but punishes too much visibility with conservative censure and backlash?" The narrative follows that of the camgirl phenomenon, beginning with the earliest experiments in personal homecamming and ending with the newest forms of identity and community being articulated through social networking sites like Live Journal, YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook. It is grounded in interviews, performance analysis of events transpiring between camgirls and their viewers, and the author's own experiences as an ersatz camgirl while conducting the research.

This study (and its author) is mentioned in this week's reading 'Digital Ethnography : An Examination of the Use of New Technologies for Social Research' by Dhiraj Murthy. Dissertation Remarks and Synopsis (from Theresa Senft's website) http://www.terrisenft.net/diss/synopsis.php#remarks
Vectors Journal of Culture and Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular - 3 views
-
Vectors is a beautiful journal of culture and technology. It pushes its contributors to present research in innovative ways. Not every piece is ethnographic, but it may inspire us to present our research in visually stunning ways. This would be great to consider in week 9.
Doing Blog Research (Again) | Mapping Online Publics - 1 views

This article is of interest (http://mappingonlinepublics.net/2012/04/27/twitter-and-disaster-resilience-lessons-from-qldfloods-and-eqnz/) I would be interested in taking the map of twitter usage or during as disaster and the doing ethnographic follow up after the factor the see how this resource was used. This might build a better picture of how to use social media during disasters/similar problems.
-
How very interesting. Could be a really valuable read. I'm very curious how their method/methodology changes from other content analysis work in online spaces. If they take into account the unique context of blog comments (trolls, etc.).

Invisible Cities, a project by Christian Marc Schmidt & Liangjie Xia - 3 views
-
By revealing the social networks present within the urban environment, Invisible Cities describes a new kind of city-a city of the mind. It displays geocoded activity from online services such as Twitter and Flickr, both in real-time and in aggregate. Real-time activity is represented as individual nodes that appear whenever a message or image is posted. Aggregate activity is reflected in the underlying terrain: over time, the landscape warps as data is accrued, creating hills and valleys representing areas with high and low densities of data.
-
Might be interesting to download the software and see what comes of this multimodal effort...takes geocoded activity from social media and "maps" it to an "immersive three dimensional space." While not ethnographic in any proper/traditional sense, this tool foregrounds questions about community, public-ness, social practice, and digitally-enabled culture...

Surveying the Social Graph: Analytics for Web 2.0 - Input Output - 1 views

This article provides some code snippets that can be used to query user data on Facebook via Facebook Query Language. It also describes how to use the Graph URL Scheme if you'd prefer to explore using URLs in your browser and not with code. Very useful for conducting online and virtual ethnographic research that entails Facebook users and communities.
What is Netnography - 3 views

I found this short slide show useful and informative because, as a newcomer to the concept of digital ethnography, it helped to contextualize and outline how ethnographic methods can be applied to online sources. It's pretty basic, but it's a good refresher/good place to start.
Digital Ethnographic Videos on YouTube - 1 views

This is fascinating. A Kansas State professor encouraged his students to create individual YouTube videos (of themselves) in order to generate different types of creative, self-reflexive, and personal digital "ethnographies." Scroll down the webpage to view individual videos or visit the class's group page on YouTube.
