After today’s class I was now also thinking about another survey I could create to discuss the students’ perception of social networks like “Facebook” or the German “StudiVZ” as a second possibility to write a paper about. Possible useful literature would be the book “The Stories of Facebook, Youtube and Myspace: The People, the Hype and the Deals Behind the Giants of Web 2.0”by Sarah Lacy or the book “Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies” by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff.
By the way, this is my new Twitter account: http://twitter.com/ChrisDortmund go and watch it!!! ;)

A very short response to Joe Trippi’s Afterword
After reading Joe Trippi’s “the Revolution will not be televised” and his entertaining Afterword I still find it very interesting how important Joe Trippi’s Howard Dean campaign became because of his innovative use of the World Wide Web. For the very first time Joe Trippi created an official campaign blog and moreover, he used different social networks on the Internet to connect Dean’s political supporters. Today these techniques are used by many other social and political campaigns and show how innovative Joe Trippi as campaign worker was.
The mentioned fact in the Afterword that Joe Trippi fell ill after the Dean campaign and that Howard Dean replaced him as campaign manager after consecutively losing the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary seemed to be a tragedy and a lucky chance for him at once. After all, Trippi finally signed on as a commentator for MSNBC and started his own consultancy, Trippi & Associates.

When I saw today’s Internet research study
on the worldwide use of the Internet where they for example compared Germany and their users to the US American users I was thinking about a first idea of writing a paper in this course. I am still not convinced of what exactly I should write about, but I am now thinking about a survey I could create to see how young German students in school use the Internet today and to compare my results to the interesting study on the Internet I already mentioned above. Furthermore, I could analyze them to finally see what this could mean for the German society among the other great nations. I could hand in this survey in the German school classes/years 5 and 6 because I am already working at a school with these age groups.
