New Personal Log

I have put a good deal of effort over the past few years into conducting "field research" on various citizen journalism and information sharing sites like Wikipedia, Always On, Bayospehere and, more recently, the "Hyperlocal" Back Fence.

These sites aggregate the work of many Bloggers and I have been trying to understand how they evolve and develop trust and deliberation. I have been studying how they contribute to public debate and how they impact our ideas and their development.

Now I am done with that and at some point I will try to articulate the conclusions of this work in a paper.

This new web log is strictly my personal log and anything I say here is solely my individual opinion and not those of my affiliations.
