3. 6269 TunA- A Mobile Music Experience to Foster Local Interactions
   http://www.medialabeurope.org/hc/publications/Bassoli03TunaUBICOMP.pdf
   makes good mention of social capital
   
4. 6579 Links on Cyberspace and Web Sociology

   via del.icio.us/cshirky
   
5. 6672 Smart Mobs on Orange's Push To Talk implementation
   http://www.smartmobs.com/archives/002420.html
   which includes a Goffman-like tentative-approach/encounters system: "It will be possible for one person with his cell phone to call and discuss with a group of persons simply by dialing directly in one touch to this group that you have gathered in your addresses-file. Before joining them simultaneously, you will be able to see on the screen cellphone via smileys if a person is already receptive or not. Via this service, you can create your own groups."
   
6. 7525 Etcon session- Untethering the Social Network
   http://trevor.typepad.com/blog/social-wireless.txt
   "or What Happens to Social Networks in the Untethered Wild. Panel: Howard Rheingold, Mimi Ito, Scott Fisher, danah boyd, Joi Ito" -- loads of nice comments about tentative, Goffman approaches in Japanese phone calls.
   
7. 7582 need2know.co.uk
   http://www.need2know.co.uk/
   "Whatever you need2know about, this is the site for you. From information about your health and relationships, to finding out the facts about law, this is where you can find out what you want, when you want it. Click on and get your head around what's on the web."
   Looks like it's aimed at teenagers, possibly boys. Could be interesting to look at research around this for the mentoring project? (Timebank)
   
8. 7654 Gordon Brown mentions social capital
   http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3499217.stm
   "The chancellor also used his speech to say more needed to be done to boost mentoring schemes as a source of help and advice. 'I wonder, for instance, whether - whilst taking consideration of child safety issues - we could not explore more innovative ways of recruiting people to be mentors and of course helping people in need of help,' he said. He suggested lessons could be learned from the success of websites like Friends Reunited and EBay in creating social networks."
   ...which is what the Timebank people had said to him the day before.
   
9. 7885 Five geek social fallacies
   http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html
   and their consequences (eg, people getting offended; Friendster). They are: "Ostracizers Are Evil; Friends Accept Me As I Am; Friendship Before All; Friendship Is Transitive; Friends Do Everything Together".
   I'm not sure it's just geeks -- I've noticed this in people who are gregarious but have rather blunt social skills (although they are highly friendly). Maybe it's common among people who have had to deduce social skills themselves?
   
10. 7917 Fiona Romeo- on the Womenspeak Consultation
    http://foe.typepad.com/blog/2004/04/private_public_.html
    "I am most interested in the Womenspeak consultation, which was designed to enable women survivors of domestic violence to submit experiential testimony to a group of parliamentarians interested in developing policy. Identifying and recruiting women survivors of domestic abuse for this consultation required extensive outreach, and the use of the internet as a medium for this sensitive consultation topic was the source of two problems: accessibility and security."
    It's the gradient to participation again. Lengthy, important post. Probably should bring this up in the Timebank work.
