After a preliminary descriptive analysis of a sample of Dutch and Flemish weblogs, the authors conduct a qualitative content analysis of four of these `blogs'. They conclude that these weblog writers present their gender identity through narratives of `everyday life' that remain closely related to the binary gender system. However, their performance of `masculinity' and `femininity' is more diffuse and heterogeneous than some theories in the field of gender and CMC would assume. In addition, the act of diary writing on weblogs can be understood as challenging the masculine connotation of the weblog as an ICT, demonstrating that the use of a technology is pivotal in shaping the ways in which technologies themselves are conceived of as `masculine' or `feminine'. 10.1177/1350506807075819 Writing from Experience: Presentations of Gender Identity on Weblogs Niels van Doorn Liesbet van Zoonen Sally Wyatt doi:10.1177/1350506807075819 European Journal of Women's Studies, Vol. 14, No. 2.

For the first time, party organizations and political candidates used this form of political communication to establish contact with their constituents, to such an extent. This paper tries to combine two strains of research to estimate the potential of weblogs as a campaigning instrument. First, content analysis data of about 3000 posts in party and candidate weblogs in the last eleven weeks before Election Day will be analyzed. Second, with regard to survey data of about 1300 internet users, insights into the use and acceptance of the parties’ weblog campaign should be provided. By combining data from both participants in weblog-based political communication – political parties and citizens – our paper provides some answers to the question of whether campaigning via weblogs can be a success. Against this background, the crucial factors for effectual weblog-based electioneering and for a better mobilization of citizens via weblogs should be presented.

The book investigates the collaborative publishing models of key news Websites, ranging from the worldwide <I>Indymedia</I> network to the massively successful technology news site <I>Slashdot,</I> and further to the multitude of Weblogs that have emerged in recent years. Building on collaborative approaches borrowed from the open source software development community, this book illustrates how gatewatching provides an alternative to gatekeeping and other traditional journalistic models of reporting, and has enabled millions of users around the world to participate in the online news publishing process.

The quantities such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, average shortest path length are calculated to capture the features of the blogging network. We demonstrate that the blogging network has small-world property and the in and out degree distributions have power-law forms. The analysis also confirms that blogging networks show in general disassortative mixing pattern. Furthermore, the fraction of the number of page views of blogs follows a power law.

Yet, success in the highly competitive world of weblogs is not easily achieved. This study seeks to explore weblog success from a technology perspective, i.e. from the impact of weblog-building technology (or blogging tool). Based on an examination of 126 highly successful weblogs tracked over a period of 3 months, we categorized weblogs in terms of popularity rank and growth, and evaluated the relationship between weblog success (in terms of popularity) and technology use. Our analysis indicates that weblog success is associated with the type of blogging tool used. We argue that technology characteristics affect the presentation and organization of weblog content, as well as the social interaction between bloggers, and in turn, affect weblog success or popularity improvement. Based on this analysis, we propose a techno-social success model for weblogs. This model postulates that a weblog's success is mainly associated with its ability to provide value for its users and readers at the content, the technology, and the social levels.

(June 2005), pp. 220-242.</i><br /><br />Much anthropological critical reflection has centred on the act of text production. In particular, anthropologists have become concerned to understand the strategic status of their own texts and to seek to impose new constraints on their writing. In this paper, I want to explore further the kind of knowledge anthropologists can have of text. However, my focus is not on the dynamics of language and composition, but rather on the consequences of reception. This emphasis derives from my ethnography of UK webloggers (online journal keepers), a group of text producers for whom publication is automatic, the beginning rather than the endpoint of any claim to knowing. Their concern is with the practical mediatory role of weblogs, which includes exploring the kinds of persons these digital texts can become and the kinds of relations they can be shown to contain. ‘My blog is me’: Texts and persons in UK online journal culture (and anthropology) Adam Reed doi:10.1080/00141840500141311 Ethnos, Vol. 70, No. 2.

(1 February 2006), pp. 49-68.</i><br /><br />This article is based on an ethnographic study carried out by the author on children and young people's diaries in a Swedish web community called Youngsters'. Its goal is to provide an insight into what some children write in their diaries in this web community and what the favourite topics are as depicted in these narratives. The focus is on the children's voice and notions about their life: family, friends and schooling. The issues raised in the article also relate to advantages gained by using the internet as an engaging and interactive research arena by and for children. Results indicate that, in spite of all the risks and moral panic related to children's internet usage, it is possible to gain access to children's own accounts of their life and to get an inside picture' of their thoughts by studying the self-presentations and diaries they create in a web community. The importance of these diaries, the author emphasizes, is in the fact that they are written by children for other children. 10.1177/0907568206058610 The Construction of Identity on the Internet: Oops!

An experiment was designed to test the new measures and to test hypotheses evaluating potential advantages of organizational blogs over traditional Web sites. Participants assigned to the blog condition perceived an organization's "conversational human voice" to be greater than participants who were assigned to read traditional Web pages. Moreover, perceived relational strategies (conversational human voice, communicated relational commitment) were found to correlate significantly with relational outcomes (trust, satisfaction, control mutuality, commitment).

The argument is that print, broadcast electronics and digital networks each construct authors and readers in different ways. I ask what are the material conditions of authors/readers today? I use Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault to frame the question of the author/reader in relation to new technologies. I contrast the analogue and the digital, the printed book with the hypertext, the classroom lecture and distance learning of the Internet, the TV image with the multi- media hypertext of the World Wide Web. In each case I explore the changed configuration of the subject. I conclude with questions about the nature of the subject in new fields of authoring/reading and connect these with implications for political theorizing.

Blog sites devoted to politics and punditry, as well as to sharing technical developments (such as www.slashdot.org), receive thousands of hits a day. But the vast majority of blogs are written by ordinary people for much smaller audiences. Here, we report the results of an ethnographic investigation of blogging in a sample of ordinary bloggers. We investigated blogging as a form of personal communication and expression, with a specific interest in uncovering the range of motivations driving individuals to create and maintain blogs.

A way of visualizing this complex network is by mapping it. A map highlights which members of the community have similar interests, and reveals the underlying social network. In this paper, we will map a network of websites using Kohonen's self-organizing map (SOM), a neural-net like method generally used for clustering and visualization of complex data sets. The set of websites considered has been the Blogalia weblog hosting site (based at <A HREF="http://www.blogalia.com/">this http URL</A>), a thriving community of around 200 members, created in January 2002. In this paper we show how SOM discovers interesting community features, its relation with other community-discovering algorithms, and the way it highlights the set of communities formed over the network.
