Lessons in Community-Building: An Inquiry into Role of Weblogs in Online Communities.
Both my aggregator and Knowledge Board discussion bring new “blog research” name: Nurul Asyikin needs help in her study:
Tentatively entitled Lessons in Community-Building: An Inquiry into Role of Weblogs in Online Communities, my thesis will focus on two matters: how webloggers perceive the concept of virtual community, and the effects of technical and design factors on the development of virtual communities.
[…]I am mainly in need of webloggers to interview. If you maintain a weblog and are interested in contributing to the ongoing dialog concerning the issues of online human behaviour in general, and virtual communities specifically, please contact me. I can be reached via ICQ (UIN: 115135696) and email.
Good to see more people focusing their research on the weblog phenomenon.
