changing research routines by web2.0 tools?

Mai 2, 2008

I keep coming across the idea of „research 2.0″ – research activities, process and tools seem to be changing tremendously as well and ther e seem to be links to our cop_place theme as well:

A collegue has written indepth about these changes http://www.peter.baumgartner.name/ (but in German)

http://www.webcitation.org/ seems to be make virtual places less fluid and transient so they can be cited OK (a memory / Museum for the Internet), http://www.librarything.com/seems to be social software for archiving books and sharing them alike and http://www.citeulike.org/ allows to collectively collect academic papers

so much to be explored and to assess if it is relevant to our question of new community places…

online places create access to education

Looking at

made me aware of another dimension of our topic of virtual places for community – virtual places can also mean to enhance access to education – so there is a broader political dimension as well

Copenhagen research notes – web2.0 and places

Mai 2, 2008

Is my blog that never really took off a good place for my research notes for our Copenhagen paper? I don’t know but it is worth a try. I have the usual apprehensions about the blog being public when my thoughts are far from being clear and thought through but then it is about process…

At first i meant to set up a table for research notes entries in our google docs document but the I thoght a tagged, chronological structure is just what a weblog provides and i could start this self-experiment as a sub-endeavour of our Copenhagen paper project

Basically I think web2.0 adds to the „lost in Cyberspace syndrom“ another dimension – now there are just too many places and tools to use…so I tend to go back to e-mail but this time it felt wrong to share my research notes by mail so this is how my blog gets used finally after I created it for test & demonstration purposes about a year ago
