First of all, danah your work has been an amazing source of inspiration and information for my research!! I am currently undertaking Honours in Behavioural Studies at Monash University in Australia, looking at teenage girls and their online identities, especially on MySpace, and how these identities are both presentations of the self (goffman) and also liquid (bauman). A smaller under-grad project I did on this topic can be found at kirstyleigh-bhs.blogspot.com

Currently, iam a graduate student at Spalding Univ. in louisville, KY and I am performing group research in Social networking sites for a research methods class for my professor. We began with a focus group study. The next stage is a large survey and report findings/results. The greatest dificulty has been for me the research methods to be used. quantitative vs. qualitative, quota sampling, etc.

I’m generally interested in social dynamics, progression of and lapses in social proximity and ‘reality’ of experience in SN/MMORPGs/MMPG/VR (ie typical MUD vs. FaceBook vs. Battle.Net vs. Second Life), issues of privacy and commoditization of identity. Insofar as my thesis is concerned, I’ll be looking more closely about the notions of ‘solitude’ online – limitations of {interaction, construction of identity, privacy concerns, technology thanks.

I want to know who these people are because all too often, academia is such that we don’t know who is also doing work on the precise site that we’re studying. While there are theoretical and methodological axes that bring the broader community together, sometimes, knowing who is looking at the detailed nuances of the same site as you is super valuable.

Don’t know if you are aware or not, but there are a large number of reports and raw datasets available at the Pew Internet research site:

There is now a new application on facebook which allows you to create questionnaires, surveys, polls, votes and petitions, answer them and invite your friends to answer them. You can display your answers to a questionnaire on your profile so people can get to know you better. We just launched it a couple of days ago, the questionnaires are up and running, polls votes and petitions will arrive in the next couple of days. In a few weeks time we hope to add commercial surveys where users get paid via paypal to answer surveys, but currently its all completely free, and you can view everyones answers to your surveys! We are adding more features all the time – it will soon be very powerful indeed. We are also willing to consider adding any feture you require on request!

Check it out:

Best wishes,
