  • Ethnography, they argue, provides thick, specific, contextualized understanding, which can complement and sometimes correct the findings of the more quantitative, formalized methods that dominate in tech companies.
  • it is also useful for understanding the processes through which technologies get built

    Wow! poked around just a little bit - great open-source tutorials on accessing census data, representing data in maps, creating news apps, coding, as well as some more manifesto-y pieces on new directions! "Source Guides are collections of tutorials, project discussions, and advice on topics of interest to developers and interactive designers in newsrooms. Is there a Guide topic missing that you'd like to see here?"

    I keep intending to pass along this site - folkstreams.net - which has digitized and archived a number of "canonical" ethnographic films. You can watch them for free - check out Salamanders!

    To compliment the Dhiraj Murthy reading, the link above is a quick look of what the film is about. Unfortunately the entire movie has been removed from Vimeo and YouTube. I believe the AAA library has a copy of it available if you are interested. For the planning and design community, this is a vital resource.

    The Pew Internet and American Life Project provides a great deal of nationally representative data on Internet and new media usage in the United States. It may be a valuable site for those seeking survey data to analyze and incorporate into their research

    I too have found this website to be very helpful. Here are a few more links from Pew providing evidence of the growing use of the internet and for the fading of the "digital divide." http://www.pewresearch.org/millennials/ http://www.pewinternet.org/2009/09/01/the-internet-and-civic-engagement/

    I really have liked using this tool with the minimal experience I've had with it thus far. I would really like to learn how to do the split screen and also learn this point they noted: Option to record both sides sound, local sound only and remote sound only. - See more at: http://www.evaer.com/#sthash.NjDc1JRN.dpuf

    This looks like a very useful and user-friendly application. I have always found video interviews difficult to deal with in terms of capturing/transcribing so many thanks for passing this along. I had trouble downloading the trial version on my MacBook Pro for some reason. Looking for troubleshooting info.

    This is the best voice recognition software out there. You can train it to recognize your voice and it is incredibly accurate. I have written papers using it. The student version is around $100. The challenge with it is it is only going to be really accurate with your voice so you would have to listen and restate what you are hearing for the program to really recognize it well.

    This seems like it could be really useful, in theory. While the video demonstrated that the program works really well with a well-enunciating woman with a fairly moderate American English accent, I would be curious to see how the program recognizes accents. I know it says that it attunes itself to individual voices, but whether that works in practice is not really apparent on the site. I guess it reminds me of that episode in IT Crowd, when Roy convinces his boss that he can converse with his computer. But still cool!
  • Jenny Dean on 17 Apr 14
     
    It works fine for accents. You practice reading a set script to tune the program to your voice.
  • Julianne Meyer on 17 Apr 14
     
    I guess what I'm questioning is its ability to adapt to tonal changes, speech rate, etc. I know I don't pronounce things with consistency.

    I've been reading this book and it has a bunch of stuff related to conducting ethnography in virtual spaces. The editor proposes the idea of cyber-social-scientific knowledge to get at the internet as both a cultural artefact and cultural context. Chapters 6 and 10 seem particularly relevant to discussions of digital ethnography.
