[Air-L] Food updates

[Jorgen Skageby]

I published a study on FB and some of the consequences that came out of
everyday usage. I conceptualized my findings around "social metadata"-usage
and an expansion of the attention economy. Mainly, the analysis revealed use
of experimental profiles, clashes between work-and non-work-related social
metadata usage and differences in users' social investment, causing social
dilemmas.

Metadata: Expanding the Attention Economy", The Information Society 25(1),
pp.60-72.

I also published a related paper on the tension between public and private
self- and relationship maintenance in Flickr.
