I didn't find any of my friends using this, but I did find an old account of my own that I had completely forgotten about. For a split second I was like, "how did this person find all those photos of me???" Lol.

Any thoughts on the privacy issue I raised above? Revealing information about users shouldn't be something a user has to opt out of. For example some people may not want their co-workers or potential employers to know that they have a flickr account. They should have to opt in instead of opt out. I think this could get ugly for some people who don't want to be found. Also the setting for opting out should be changed. I may want to be found by my flickr buddy name, but just not by the new email address way. There should be a way to leave things the same way they were before. Now I can only opt out of everything or opt in for everything.

Proggie: Privacy is something we take very seriously at Flickr. People have actually always been searchable by email address on Flickr (via "People Search"), and we chose to respect our member's existing people search preference settings (as well as make that preference page easier to find). On the opt-out versus opt-in issue, this is something where we carefully weighed the options, and chose the default option based on what we feel would have the greatest benefit for the majority of our members. Just as we chose to make "public" the default for uploaded photos, we chose to preserve opt-out as the default for people search on Flickr.

在第九版中，Babbie作了两个引人注目的调整。首先，在“质化实地研究”（Qualitative Field Research，即第十章）一章中，对有关质化研究的几种主要思潮或方法，包括自然主义（naturalism），人类学方法（ethnomethodology），扎根理论（grounded theory），个案研究（case study）和扩展个案研究（extended case methods），制度人类学（institutional ethnography），参与研究（participatory action research）等等，作了着力介绍，并配以精心挑选的具体实例。其次，第九版专门增加了一章“质化数据分析”（Qualitative Data Analysis），对卓有特色的几种主要的质化数据处理方法，结合具体的质化研究方法，作了详细介绍。虽然现在SPSS（Statistical Package for the Social Sciences）数据处理软件已经广泛应用于各种量化研究中，但在质化研究领域，计算机辅助数据分析软件的开发和使用却仍处于起步阶段。在这一章，Babbie结合实例介绍了一个近年比较流行的质化数据处理软件NUD*IST。

社会研究最重要的特点，也许在于研究主体和研究对象的能动性及其动态互动。

社会研究是一种严肃而竞争激烈的学术生涯，研究者不仅要对社会负责，也要对自身负责——确信自己所从事的研究，是可信而有意义的；同时，研究者更要接受近乎残酷的同行评议。所有这一切，离不开研究者在研究方法方面的基本修养。

In its Standards of Professional Practice the AIGA makes this unequivocal statement regarding authorship, “When not the sole author of a design, it is incumbent upon a professional designer to clearly identify his or her specific responsibilities or involvement with the design. Examples of such work may not be used for publicity, display or portfolio samples without clear identification of precise areas of authorship.” Unfortunately, this dictum has not led to consistency in the way graphic design is credited in magazines, books, websites, or contests and doesn't address the problem of unattributed work.

The AIGA's stance speaks to what has traditionally been the major issue in graphic design attribution — in such collaborative work why does a single designer end up getting the credit?

What about young designers who put work done at a well-known studio on their personal portfolio site? What about big studios that use a monolithic studio credit for the work done by individual employees? And (as in the Sundance Channel example) what about work that goes completely uncredited?

Jeremiah: Paul Denlinger of Beijing is an internet expert on China, and I’ve offered him the opportunity to help share from an insiders perspective. Keeping in the theme of internet strategy and how the web impacts business, (and in this case the world) Paul, a resident of China, shares his perspective. Although a long post, please show him the same respect that you do for me.
