  • Collaborative Storytelling 2.0: a Framework for Studying Forum-Based Role-Playing Games
    COLLABORATIVE STORYTELLING 2.0: A FRAMEWORK FOR STUDYING FORUM-BASED ROLE-PLAYING GAMES Csenge Virág Zalka A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2017 Committee: Kristine Blair, Committee Co-Chair Lisa M. Gruenhagen Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala, Committee Co-Chair Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair and Radhika Gajjala, Committee Co-Chairs Forum-based role-playing games are a rich, yet barely researched subset of text- based digital gaming. They are a form of storytelling where narratives are created through acts of play by multiple people in an online space, combining collaboration and improvisation. This dissertation acts as a pilot study for exploring these games in their full complexity at the intersection of play, narrative, and fandom. Building on theories of interactivity, digital storytelling, and fan fiction studies, it highlights forum games’ most unique features, and proves that they are is in no way liminal or secondary to more popular forms of role-playing. The research is based on data drawn from a large sample of forums of various genres. One hundred sites were explored through close textual analysis in order to outline their most common features. The second phase of the project consisted of nine months of participant observation on select forums, in order to gain a better understanding of how their rules and practices influence the emergent narratives. Participants from various sites contributed their own interpretations of forum gaming through a series of ethnographic interviews. This did not only allow agency to the observed communities to voice their thoughts and explain their practices, but also spoke directly to the key research question of why people are drawn to forum gaming.

  • Website, Blog and Portal Website
    Website, blog and portal Website: - The form "website" has become the most common spelling, but "Web site" (capitalised) and "web site" are also widely used, though declining. Some academia, some large book publishers, and some dictionaries still use "Web site", reflecting the origin of the term in the proper name World Wide Web. There has also been similar debate regarding related terms such as web page, web server, and webcam. A website, also written as web site, or simply site, is a set of related web pages1 typically served from a single web domain2. A website is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network through an Internet address known as a Uniform resource locator. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web. A webpage is a document, typically written in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML,XHTML). A webpage may incorporate elements from other websites with suitable mark-up anchors. Webpages are accessed and transported with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which may optionally employ encryption (HTTP Secure, HTTPS) to provide security and privacy for the user of the webpage content. The user's application, often a web browser, renders the page content according to its HTML mark-up instructions onto a display terminal. The pages of a website can usually be accessed from a simple Uniform Resource Locator (URL) called the web address. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy, although hyperlinking between them conveys the reader's perceived site structure and guides the reader's navigation of the site which generally includes a home page with most of the links to the site's web content, and a supplementary about, contact and link page.

By germinating this weblog we are enabling the young start-ups to get exposed to its real audience. Additionally, it will also provide news of different genres like, business, entertainment, travel experiences and “do you know” kind of stuff. Keywords— weblog, genres, business, entertainment, tavel experiences, do know stuff. I. INTRODUCTION In the present scenario the blog we usually visit are rather genre centric and they work to report about the companies those are already leading. They basically concentrate on the page ranking to attract visitor by ads and other irrelevant articles. Although that is a necessary criterion to work on but basically the level of information should be precise and relevant rather than being cooked. We need a reliable and transparent platform to help start-ups blossom to reach the desired customers and provide quality information. Our main aim is to germinate a web blog to aggregate quality information and bring technology & start-ups to audience. Share information about technology and entertainment under single domain. Help Start-up’s reach its real customer. A platform to bring audience to gain and share knowledge together II. LITERATURE SURVEY BLOG A blog (a contraction of the words web log) is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first).

Media has developed a very unique position for itself in our lives. If we just look around then we would find that there is no aspect of our life which is not touched and affected by media. Be it our work, relationships, education or entertainment, media is seen everywhere. And there is no denial that we can not live without media. There is no doubt that media is playing a very significant role in making the world smaller. Through various mediums of media whether it is radio, television, newspaper or internet, today we are able to connect with large number of people around us. Especially internet has truly become the need of every individual both for our work and to connect with our friends and well wishers. Twitter, Blog, Facebook, My Space and You Tube have occupied such special place in our lives that if we are not a part of it, then there is something really important that we are missing .Media not only connects with our friends but it also informs us about the events in the world.

  • 118 an Assessment of the Readership Base For
    AN ASSESSMENT OF THE READERSHIP BASE FOR NIGERIAN BLOGS Allen Nnanwuba Adum Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, [email protected] and Anastacia Chukwulete Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Abstract The contemporary world is in what is described as ‗The Golden Age of Communication‘. Modern communication technology keeps people connected round the clock. Information is always available, every time and everywhere. You want to get in touch with your friend, who is miles away, immediately? Use a mobile phone or send ‗sms‘. What about the latest gossip, or the ―Did you know?‖ part of the story? Use the handy PC with its extremely fast Internet connection to post it on the Web. ‗Communication made easy‘ could be a befitting tag for the contemporary era of communication in which we exist. Blogging, as an Internet spinoff affords the media audience the opportunity to become creators of media materials. There are many Nigerian blogs; but who reads them? The research objectives of the study were to ascertain if undergraduate students have knowledge of blogging; ascertain their level of awareness of Nigerian Blog sites and find out if they browse for news and information from these blog sites. The results of the study show a lack of awareness of blogging among undergraduate students. Though, a lot of them engage in the activity unconsciously, they are basically ignorant of the exact purpose of blogs. Keywords: blogs; blogging; connectivity; communication technology Introduction Until the advent of the Internet and the Web, the print and broadcast media were the main media of Mass Communication.
