Social Networking Media – What Will You Do, be Connected or be a Voyeur?
Social networking media is a big buzz on the Web. Even if you haven't heard the term "social media networking", surely you have heard of the big social media networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace. You've probably even embraced some of the new adjunct social media applications as mainstream in your daily life if you are blogging, use Twitter, bookmark website you like on Digg or StumbleUpon. But, what is our preoccupation with social media and social media networking is it to connect with others or to simply become a voyeur into other people's lives?
Social media networking and social media applications have proliferated this last year. Updating and actively working on your social media network is not just for college and high school students; real estate agents, business owners, and internet professionals are flocking to social media networking sites by the millions.
At these top social media networking sites, you are encouraged to reveal as much information about yourself as possible. You are asked to post what you do, where you go, what you buy, whose parties you go to, who you have connected with, upload photos of yourself, and much more. These sites are a candid snapshot of you! What makes these sites so incredibly popular is just that, the candid, naked view of real people; people who you may want to know and others who you may not want to know! My question is however, are social media networking sites creating a world of voyeurs and really the new performance art of the 60's or are they efforts in our increasingly global and disconnected world to connect with others?
Here's just one example, www.Twitter.com is a new social media application that encourages you to write 140 word mini-posts about what you are doing RIGHT NOW. You can embed your mini Twitter "blog" on any social media networking page and are even encouraged to text-in to Twitter with your cell phone "and tell us what you are doing right now!" Using Twitter, you allow others to watch and follow what you do throughout the day. You can select to follow other people, who use Twitter, to even find out what they've eaten for lunch or are doing "right now". In a way it's kind of fun to see what other people you are interested in knowing more about are doing, but in a way it is kind of disconcerting to know that everyone who wanted to look, saw you went to the garden center yesterday to buy a new rose trellis.
The value of social media networking from my viewpoint is to allow people to connect with each other in our global community in a new and exciting way. Whether you become just a voyeur or become an active connected participant is all up to you! Me, I am choosing to become connected and to embrace some of these new applications. I find them interesting, fun, and opportunities to really connect with others in my field of expertise.

Networked (Paperback) $47.23 Journalism, what happened? In the last decade, the industry and the profession have been rocked to the core. Newspapers as consumer product are as ripe for comic mocking and satire as are the techniques of the journalism profession. The contemporary death and life of journalism is the story of an historic cultural transition. We have lived through the end of the mass-media era and the beginning of the networked-media era. We took in news one way for a century and we simply don`t do it like that anymore. Networked: A Contemporary History of News in Transition examines this moment in journalism, the conditions that brought it about and the characteristics that have shaped it and will shape its future. In crafting this sophisticated yet accessible study, new-media scholar Adrienne Russell draws on personal interviews with journalists and analysts at the center of the shift, examines innovative and revealing digital news projects, and underlines larger cultural changes that reflect the new news reality. Networked also examines emergent journalism practices that suggest the forces at work and the stakes involved in developments we have all experienced but, caught up in the rush of change, have had limited perspective to interpret. |

The Networked Wilderness $68 In The Networked Wilderness, Matt Cohen examines communications systems in early New England and finds that, surprisingly, struggles over information technology were as important as theology, guns, germs, or steel in shaping the early colonization of North America. Colonists in New England have generally been viewed as immersed in a Protestant culture of piety and alphabetic literacy. At the same time, many scholars have insisted that the culture of the indigenous peoples of the region was a predominantly oral culture. But what if, Cohen posits, we thought about media and technology beyond the terms of orality and literacy?Reconceptualizing aural and inscribed communication as a spectrum, The Networked Wilderness bridges the gap between the history of the book and Native American systems of communication. Cohen reveals that books, paths, recipes, totems, and animals and their sounds all took on new interactive powers as the English negotiated the well-developed informational trails of the Algonquian East Coast and reported their experiences back to Europe. Native and English encounters forced all parties to think of each other as audiences for any event that might become a kind of “publication.” Using sources ranging from Thomas Morton’s Maypole festival to the architecture of today’s Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, Cohen shows that the era before the printing press came to New England was one of extraordinary fertility for communications systems in America. |

Networked Reenactments (Hardcover) $189.35 Since the 1990s, the ways that knowledge is created and used have changed. “Flexible knowledges,” collaborative experiments across specialized communities of practice, have become increasingly important. By analyzing reenactments, Katie King highlights some of the challenges, and pleasures, posed by experiments in flexible knowledges. Focusing on science-styled TV programs, such as NOVA’s Secrets of Lost Empires series, and museum exhibitions, including Science in American Life at the Smithsonian, she describes how scholars, curators, historians, television producers, authors, journalists, hobbyists, and others were compelled to work together to communicate complex technical knowledge across multiple media platforms. With limited authorial control, they sought to reach widely differing local audiences, and to do so against a background of national interests, changing technologies, the dynamics of globalization, and the restructuring of the knowledge, culture, and entertainment industries. King points to elements common to the more successful reenactments: fine-grained analysis; attention to multiple perspectives and scales, from the visual to the temporal; and the participation of audience members engaged affectively and imaginatively. Based on her assessment of the recent past, King posits the emergence of a feminist posthumanities. |

Networked Diasporas by Goswami, Surabhi [Paperback] $111.53 Social Networking Sites (SNS) have emerged as popular online platforms for people to make Friends online, by not only mapping ones offline connections online but also creating connections with new people based on similarity of interest. Simultaneously, globalization has led to increasing migration resulting in the creation of the diaspora, who find themselves away from the familiar spaces and people of their homeland and are encouraged to look for new ways to create communities. In this context, the presence of numerous diasporic groups on social media platforms like Orkut and Facebook indicate their growing popularity with the diaspora. This book offers a virtual ethnography of the Indians in London (IIL) community on Orkut, exploring the significance of such online communities for diasporic individuals and examines their online practices. Using qualitative methods, the book examines if these online congregations of diasporic Indians can indeed be correctly understood as communities and if SNS emerge as an alternative platform for diasporic members to connect with others who share similar circumstances and aspirations.
