  • The Example of Swedish Independent Music Fandom by Nancy K
    First Monday Online groups are taking new forms as participants spread themselves amongst multiple Internet and offline platforms. The multinational online community of Swedish independent music fans exemplifies this trend. This participant–observation analysis of this fandom shows how sites are interlinked at multiple levels, and identifies several implications for theorists, researchers, developers, industry and independent professionals, and participants. Contents Introduction Fandom Swedish popular music The Swedish indie music fan community Discussion Conclusion Introduction The rise of social network sites is often taken to exemplify a shift from the interest–based online communities of the Web’s “first” incarnation to a new “Web 2.0” in which individuals are the basic unit, rather than communities. In a recent First Monday article, for instance, boyd (2006) states, “egocentric networks replace groups.” I argue that online groups have not been “replaced.” Even as their members build personal profiles and egocentric networks on MySpace, Facebook, BlackPlanet, Orkut, Bebo, and countless other emerging social network sites, online groups continue to thrive on Web boards, in multiplayer online games, and even on the all–but–forgotten Usenet. However, online communities are also taking a new form somewhere between the site-based online group and the egocentric network, distributing themselves throughout a variety of sites in a quasi–coherent networked fashion. This new form of distributed community poses particular problems for its members, developers, and analysts. This paper, based on over two years of participant–observation, describes this new shape of online community through a close look at the multinational online community of fans of independent rock music from Sweden.

  • Twitter – a Personal Perspective
    Twitter – a personal perspective Catriona Fisher Customer Services Manager University of Glasgow Library Email: catriona.fisher@glasgow. ac.uk twitter: @catrionafisher I joined Twitter in March 2009, but like most people I spent the first few months wondering what on earth this strange new world was all about. As a devoted user of Multiply, then Bebo and later Facebook, I was no stranger to social net- working, but Twitter was quite obviously some- thing different. I quickly realised the following: • you need your tweets to be public • the best way to get followers is to follow other people • hashtags are a must if you want your voice to be heard amongst the millions of tweets. I started out tweeting solely about work and had intended to have two accounts, one for work and a personal account (as I do with Facebook), but I quickly realised that many professionals on Twit- ter were tweeting about their work lives and their personal lives from the same account. This takes a bit of getting used to, but is very much the norm on Twitter. I now tweet from my own account @catrionafisher and also on behalf of the University of Glasgow Library @uofglibrary, along with a group of staff from Library Services. We’ve found Twitter to be a really powerful way of reaching out to students and other library users and it is now one of our primary channels of communication when we need to share informa- tion quickly. For example, we are using it to keep students up to date with any disruption during the work to re-clad the library building.

  • Downloading, Streaming and Digital Lending
    Music in the Digital Age: Downloading, Streaming and Digital Lending James Mason, University of Toronto Jared Wiercinski, Concordia University Introduction The ways in which we listen to music, and the places we look to find it, have changed radically in the last thirty years. In 1980, Philips and Sony proposed the Red Book standard for Compact Discs (CDs),1 with a little help from Beethoven.2 Although it was not the first storage medium for digital audio, the introduction of the CD signaled that the world of digital music was about to go mainstream. The technology behind communications devices such as telephones, radios, and personal computers continued to evolve, and before long, the foundation for the Internet was firmly in place. This multifaceted and complex "global system of interconnected computer networks"3 was about to revolutionize the distribution of sound recordings. As Leiner says, "The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location."4 Only fifteen years after the introduction of the Red Book, music was being distributed over the Internet. RealNetworks' RealAudio Player, for example, was released in April 1995, and was one of the first media players capable of streaming media over the Internet.5 Now, recorded music is more accessible than ever before. We enjoy unprecedented access to music through a variety of means, including both web access and via mobile devices such as smartphones, the iPod touch 1 British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) News, “How the CD Was Developed,” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6950933.stm (accessed March 16, 2010).
