[PointAbout: Mobilize Your Brand] Segmenting Users: Pew Research's 9 Tribes of the Internet ...: 01:21:23 We asked them general information on this on government and I will point out - send this group some more information on that. There are a couple of things to say: we’re going to do e-government work in the Fall. So we’ll have a lot more to say in November or December. Peoples expectation have radically shifted, so for pure play information needs now, the majority of people the top of the bell curve, want stuff online and expect it online and preference it if just an information query. If it’s a personal thing - if they’ve got a problem to solve with government or it’s a sensitive matter that they’re seeking information on, they want a human being to deal with. They don’t want to rely on a website. They don’t want to rely on general information. They want specific stuff and frankly they want a human being to say this is what’s going on or this is the way to go. They certainly want the human face of government to be interacting with them. I think the Obama campaign in the first moments of its governing has clearly ratcheted up expectations about transparency. People now want to see the primary stuff. They want to be able to vote on it. Not everybody will do it. As a matter of fact, very few people will take the time to give you comments on regulations or to recommend stuff on Digg or anything like that, but you’ve got to do it because this is now baked into the experience people have with government. We’re beginning to see - actually not it’s a pretty consistent finding - somewhere about 13% and 20% of people who do anything online are participators. We see it in: health, government, politics, news. These are the people who will post on their blog about what you’re doing. They will recommend or post a link on their website or form a group in Face Book or something like that. These are very different people in some respects from traditional civic actors. They are really into tech. They’re kind of quirky in the sensibilities. They are rabid free speech information free people. These are not outliers, but absolutely if you put something behind a wall they will take it as a challenge to go find it or beat the crap out of you in the process. So that’s kind of the sensibilities that we’re seeing.
[The Pew Center on Global Climate Change] Summary: India's National Action Plan on Climate Change | Pew ...: Emphasizing the overriding priority of maintaining high economic growth rates to raise living standards, the plan “identifies measures that promote our development objectives while also yielding co-benefits for addressing climate change effectively.” It says these national measures would be more successful with assistance from developed countries, and pledges that Indias per capita greenhouse gas emissions “will at no point exceed that of developed countries even as we pursue our development objectives.”
[Journal of Medical Internet Research] Health 2.0 and Medicine 2.0: Tensions and Controversies in the ...: by Rice [39] provides detailed analysis on the use of the Internet in relation to health, but it does not address Medicine 2.0 issues specifically. A few papers ended on a similar gray boundary to that demonstrated by Google, such as Tse et al [40], and these were excluded from our review. This does not mean their findings are not relevant, but rather we found that the overall paper was not specific to Medicine 2.0 and should consequently be treated as an eHealth paper with potential implications for Medicine 2.0.

[Journal of Medical Internet Research] What Is eHealth (6): Perspectives on the Evolution of eHealth ...: While researchers and developers were concerned with standardization of evaluation methodologies, stakeholders involved in the delivery of eHealth programs within health care identified an urgent need for standardized platforms to facilitate widespread use of the technology. As a leader of a program that has implemented IHCs, one stakeholder urged organizations to “move away from proprietary pieces, and work closer together for the greater good, and in some cases that means moving towards standards…simply to be able to get beyond the hurdle of technology or implementation or detail aspects, and get to the real goal which is stronger outcomes, better solutions, easier analysis.”

[TierneyLab] And Science for All - TierneyLab Blog - NYTimes.com: As a graduate student in chemistry, I have found that there is often a lack of understanding of what scientists do, practically speaking. Because lawyers and doctors are rather more familiar lights in many communities, but scientists tend to clump together into their own divisions of universities of major research companies, there is little communication with the outside world from scientists compared to other professionals.

[Chicago Reader: The Blog: Clout City] "Nobody but Stone" | The Blog | Chicago Reader: Naisy Dolar's campaign appearance on "CHICAGO TONIGHT",WTTW CH.11 LAST NITE(mon apr2 )proved how unfit she truly is to be alderman.Host Phil Ponce asked several pertinent questions which Dolar,who spent most of the show wigglying around in her seat(and apparently professionally made-up for television)while acting "perky", gave answers that were DODGES to avoid showing how ignorant she is on the issues.For example, Dolar actually said that there was rampant crime in the ward,despite the fact that police statistics say otherwise;Dolar (whose husband is a CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER) stated that most crime victims don't call the POLICE.She, especially,should know better ;the very thought is preposterous.In another example of her lack of knowledge,Dolar claimed that nothing was being done to address the DEVON AVE Parking problem.Nothing could be further from the truth.ALDERMAN STONE is addressing this problem,with the initial relief coming in the form of new DEDICATED DEVON-ROCKWELL GARAGE which will add over 230 additional spaces.Dolar says residents of the Devon Area should bear the burden of providing extra parking;the ONLY way that WOULD BE POSSIBLE WOULD BE TO GIVE UP residential permit parking,AN UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION.And,get this,on two occassions during the broadcast,Naisy Dolar ADMITTED to running an ETHNIC BASED CAMPAIGN,saying in Chicago this is perfectly all right;the other ADMISSION was a reflexive AFFIRMATIVE nod and smile when Ponce mentioned the Asian-American Aldermanic CRUSADE.What is truly astounding is Dolar thinks her performance was a Home Run ,proudly posting it on u-tube and her Web Site.

This paper will review literature on traditional and current turnout by this demographic, social networking as an effective campaigning medium, surveying techniques, and finally suggest a research design that will cover potentially instrumental variables in web applications.
[apophenia] apophenia: viewing American class divisions through Facebook and ...: The German language, which was used by the Nazi SS (Schutzstaffel), is - in a similar manner to English - also challenging to engage with for both the Sami and the older generation of Vietnamese, however - unlike English - it does support cultural identity within the Pennsylvania Dutch Amish communities. These facts are undisputed by the author, and makes it somewhat difficult to accept the arguments presented at face value, but rather invites questions about the author's true motivations for publication.
