This week started off very hetic for me. I started it by coming back from a trip late and mostly out of contact with the internet. So I spent Thursday and Friday catching up on my two online classes. A little overwhelming but I am almost finished as of writing this blog.
Research has been the focus of this week. While I have chosen a tradition media to present my project, I am doing things I have never really done before such as interviews. I am not sure how this will turn out, but so far I've actually managed to peek the interest of those I've asked to do an interview with me. Hopefully they will all follow through and be able to make time for it. I've chosen to focus on something for my research that I've talked about at length on the discussion forums: The positive social relations and the construction of online communities. I've chosen to look at one that I use to be heavily involved with the revolves around a game called Eve Online.
I found many of the topics for the reading this week to be sadly boring. The article on Ezines was perhaps the most interesting, but only from the perspective that I am using it as a basis to point the rapid evolution of online communities. This website is an interesting example I've found. While not complete, it shows a rough outline of progression.
