are you writing facebook or is facebook writing you? - jimmy howe via twhirl
@jimmy howe i am exploring it. just observing. and now asking you on above - Danica Radovanovic
Yes, it is. Like every successful community it is too large to be unified, but it contains many, many interconnected subcommunities. - Bora Zivkovic
Also, remember that age-wise, FB is bimodal: lots of highschool/college kids are one "hump" of the curve, the 40+ techie/bloggie folks are the other. Not much in-between. The two age-groups use FB differently, but both are in some ways 'communities' - Bora Zivkovic
thank you Bora, this is what I have told her and we had argument, as she stated as she is professor and 'knows' better than me communication processes, she was stating that facebook is NOT a community, although I;ve argued back asking her what those people are doing there but interacting online and as virtual community it has all elements from profile, comment walls, invisible audiences, etc. Then she interupted me saying that I am wrong (again) and said to think after holidays more about this. She is no ex - Danica Radovanovic
she is no expert in Facebook or MySpace and she is not directing me properly. I am about to quit my PhD before I started research as I'm not satisfied with competency at BUniversity. I mean is there a point to continue if she is stating some basic things as false??? This really pi****ed me off. When will university professors extract their vanity and huge egos? - Danica Radovanovic
and what really p***s me off is that she ever heard of Christine Hine and Virtual Methodology as well she was saying bad things on my colleague d.boyd (and she doesnt even know or hear for her) about the research on social networks, that what she is doing is not valid. and I am really questioning credibility of University here, and quitting PhD - Danica Radovanovic
"I'm the professor" isn't an argument. Experience with FB and other SN tools trumps hidebound abstract theoretical proclamations. Oh, and I've got a Ph.D., too. - Tom Guarriello
@Tom Guarriello I agree with you, but it is not nice to say:'her University worths, and Berkeley (where my colleague recently got her PhD degree on this subject) is not parameter for the those proclamations. - Danica Radovanovic
Well, my point is that academic credentials do not hold sway when the experience of users is dramatically different. For example, almost five months ago, I co-founded a video-blogger centered community called VloggerHeads. In the past month, one of our most active members has suffered a heart attack and another just lost his father. The response of the members is every bit as indicative of the behavior of a community as any I've ever seen. Here's a video describing response http://tinyurl.com/9xlrdq - Tom Guarriello
Facebook is an online community. Just not a searchable, public one. - Richard Akerman
If I were splitting hairs, I'd probably say it's an online representation of user's meatspace community. It makes no sense if you use a pseudonym (or is at least very laborious to explain to everyone). Users generally don't "befriend" users they haven't met in the real world at some point, or established a (relatively) solid relationship with otherwise. I'd say it's an online utility for your personal community-management. - Goran Zec
Don't quit - challenge. Bring other prof's in the school to your defense. There has to be someone who understands on there somewhere... - George Smith
