    (Sage has free access to this journal for a couple of months after August 1st if you register.) `IM me': Instant messaging as relational maintenance and everyday communication Artemio Ramirez, Jr Arizona State University, artemio.ramirezjr.1@asu.edu Kathy Broneck Pima Community College Few studies to date have examined the use of Internet applications in enacting `everyday' routine relational maintenance and even fewer assess how such tools complement more traditional forms of communication to sustain involvements. This exploratory study examines the role of one such tool, instant messaging (IM), in relational maintenance. Participants (N = 402) reported their general use of IM (Stage 1) and subsequently conducted and reported on a specific interaction occurring either through IM or face to face (Stage 2). Among IM users, significant gender and the types of relationships differences emerged in `every communication.' Findings also indicate how IM is being utilized in conjunction with other communication channels. New research opportunities for examining relational maintenance processes employing IM are advanced. Key Words: computer-mediated communication * instant messaging * Internet * relational maintenance * routine interaction Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Vol. 26, No. 2-3, 291-314 (2009) DOI: 10.1177/0265407509106719

    Oh, and one more tip: when you're trying to get real work done, it's also O.K. to close Twitter. It may be powerful, useful, addictive and fascinating - but in the end, it's still an Internet time drain.

  • Home to more than 3,000 charities and nonprofits, 270 neighborhood associations, and dozens of coalitions and community groups, New Orleans is in the midst of a civic renaissance.  Frustrated with inept and inefficient local and federal governments, the people of New Orleans have harnessed the vast power of the Internet to network, fill their needs, and reach out to the traditional media.  Armed with blogs, Twitter, Yahoo groups, and wikis, nonprofits and citizen groups are transforming grassroots community, organizing into a potent force that is helping to determine how New Orleans will be rebuilt.
  • Yet what makes post-Katrina New Orleans unique is the degree to which digital networks have become ensconced in physical communities, even four years later. This digital revolution is not limited to bloggers and tech geeks—many people who had barely used the Internet before Katrina for more than sending e-mails are some of the leaders of the grassroots digital activism movement.

  • Writing for Nonreaders in the Postprint Era focuses on the creation of short-form prose that is not intended to be reproduced on pulp fibers.
  • Instant messaging. Twittering. Facebook updates. These 21st-century literary genres are defining a new "Lost Generation" of minimalists
  • Throughout the course, a further paring down of the Hemingway/Stein school of minimalism will be emphasized, limiting the superfluous use of nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, gerunds, and other literary pitfalls.

  • Today's teens are still more interested in their friends than their lessons. They're still resistant to power and authority at variable levels. They still gossip, bully, flirt, joke around, and hang out. The underlying dynamics are fairly consistent. That said, technology is inflecting these practices in unique ways. And my goal here today is to talk about these inflection points.
  • They use these sites to connect to people that they already know from school, church, activities, summer camp, etc.
  • One of the most problematic mistakes adults make when trying to make sense of social network sites is to presume that kids interact on these sites just like they do
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • Teens are using this space as a social hangout with their pre-existing network.
  • Profiles
  • Think of the profile as a digital body
  • This is about showing off to known individuals
  • self-expression for friends
  • Friends
  • it's socially rude not to
  • Friends is as intended audience
  • Comments
  • process of social grooming
  • Teens know how to have deeper conversations - this just isn't where those necessarily happen.
  • New Feed
  • according to Pew, the median age of the Twitterverse is 31
  • social pressure to be where your friends are
  • How are these environments similar or different to other public spaces?
  • Persistence
  • What you say sticks around
  • Replicability
  • crux of rumor-spreading
  • bullying
  • Searchability
  • when trying to avoid those who hold power over you, it may be less than ideal
  • Scalability
  • spiral out of control
  • (de)locatability
  • simultaneously more and less connected to physical space
  • implications have to do with the ways in which they alter social dynamics
  • Invisible Audiences
  • lurkers
  • we are having to present ourselves and communicate without fully understanding the potential or actual audience
  • Collapsed Contexts
  • Social media brings all of these contexts crashing into one another and it's often difficult to figure out what's appropriate, let alone what can be understood.
  • Blurring of Public and Private.
  • youth see privacy in terms of control - control of space, control of information, control of trust
  • reproduction of socio-economic status and class divisions in digital worlds.
  • Teens who use MySpace can't communicate with those on Facebook and vice-versa. So if you don't participate, you're written out of the story. This means that divisions are re-inforced. Forget all of the rhetoric about how the Internet is the great equalizer - it's the great reproducer of inequality.
  • For all of the attention paid to "digital natives" it's important to realize that most teens are engaging with social media without any deep understanding of the underlying dynamics or structure. Just because they understand how to use the technology doesn't mean that they understand the information ecology that surrounds it. Most teens don't have the scaffolding for thinking about their information practices.

  • Don’t folks love these studies that make them hang on to their seats! It’s a research murder mystery turned cliff hanger! The reality is no one knows who “dunnit”! People can guess all they want. Parents can play it safe and deactivate accounts without any real basis, but it might make them feel better. The truth is we won’t know unless further study is completed some day in the future after more data is collected and described. Then and only then can some patterns be looked at and then perhaps a study looking at causation could be undertaken. And that will be a long time from now.So what are parents to do? If parents have been vigilant about how much time children spend on technology whether computer, television, video games, or the internet, keep up the good work. If parents have not been monitoring time spent with technology, then maybe some consideration is needed. But parents should do so not because they are fearful of lower grades. Instead, parents should monitor social networking because, done in excess, it keeps teens from doing other activities that are probably better for them in the long run in achieving a balanced life and true learning success.
