		<title>(Re-)Constructing Social Networking Sites: Examining Software Relations and its Influence on Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a little overdue, but I hereby officially want to post my MA thesis for everyone to read (and/or use under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 license). This thesis was written in a total period of about five months under the supervision of Prof. dr. Richard Rogers, with Dr. Geert Lovink as the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=267&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>MA thesis on Social Networking Sites and Software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a long, fun and interesting journey (and yes, I must admit, it was also tiring at times), but I&#8217;m happy to announce that my MA thesis on the software behind social networking sites (SNSs) is finally finished and submitted. Right now I&#8217;m waiting for the &#8216;official&#8217; grading to be processed, but once that&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=241&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Media Final Papers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last few months I&#8217;ve been particularly preoccupied with (school) work and the research for my MA thesis (on the software behind social networking sites &#8211; more about this later). I did however, finish a couple of classes for which I wrote two final papers that I&#8217;d like to share.
First off, the class New Media [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=205&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Hardship of a Blogger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even though I started this blog only recently and did a pretty good job keeping it updated at first, I must admit (and regular visitors probably already noticed this) I&#8217;m not much of a blogger. At least not frequency-wise. Sometimes I&#8217;m just too busy. Other times, I can&#8217;t find any inspiration. Either way: I don&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=183&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Twitter’s Implications: Is Less Really More?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s around us everywhere. Increasingly, the trend of creating single-phrase sentences – or aphorisms – is taking over the way we write and read, online and offline. It almost seems as though there is no more room for elaborate writings and conversations. It has to be short, fast and informative. But, is less really more?
The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=176&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What added value lies in your online connections?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With different social networking sites, connections are also different. This might seem obvious, but how do these connections differ and what does that mean?
In their paper ‘Public Displays of Connection’, MIT Media Lab professor Judith Donath and academic danah boyd write:
‘Networks are the extension of our social world; they also act as its boundary. We [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=164&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Workshop (De-)Constructing Information Visualization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended a workshop on (De-)Constructing Information Visualization yesterday evening, led by Yuri Engelhardt and Christian Behrens, who are both specialized in information visualization and data visualization and information design. It was all about &#8216;exploring the notion of a &#8216;building block systems&#8217; of visual language: Which basic visual coding principles can be identified as the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=131&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>PICNIC 08 &#8211; All Media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to PICNIC 08 today, a three day conference on media technology, entertainment, art and science at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam, where I attended the presentation All Media on which I wrote the following review.
Today’s themes in the E-Art Dome &#8211; presented by Virtueel Platform &#8211; are ecology, online life/social networking and mobility.

		<title>Does the DailyMe dissolve our social glue?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The term &#8216;Daily Me&#8217; was first coined in 1995 by author and MIT Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte. Law professor Cass Sunstein took up this notion in his book Republic.com published in 2001 (he also wrote about it in the updated version Republic.com 2.0 published last year) on which he wrote: &#8216;It is some time in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=92&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Microsoft ad #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This second Microsoft commercial starring Jerry Seinfeld may even be stranger than the first one. I found a very positive review about the whole campaign, which you can read here. Although I don&#8217;t agree with the author completely, he does make a good point when he says:  &#8216;Much like Seinfeld&#8217;s television show, the new [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=annewilneervens.wordpress.com&blog=4698467&post=88&subd=annewilneervens&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
