[Air-l] personal homepages

[Gregor Petric]

Hi,

Last year I've conducted a web survey and got app. 34% of internet users (2458 out of total n=7209), 
who have their own web site. These are not only people who self-present, but use their personal web 
site (=a web site, on the content of which they autonomously decide) for various social reasons, like 
cooperation, constructing virtual identity, establishing relationships and expressing their opinion publicly. 
I believe you could find the genre of personal home pages and (personal) blogs in the context of these. 

Anyhow, I was surprised by the large percentage, so I guess an efficient way to get to the authors would 
be by finding them in a web survey of a sample of internet users. 

If anybody is interested in discussing these matters, have a look at the paper and contact me.

Cheers, Gregor

  Subject: [Air-l] personal homepages


  I am conducting a research project on the presentation of the Self and identity in personal homepages. I have already conducted 10 online interviews with individuals who own personal homepages, in which they present aspects of their pesonal identity. However, during the last months I have not been able to locate more homepages or the ones I have located seem to have not been updated for years. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to 'where' I can find more personal homepages (apart from the search function in yahoo, etc which seems to yield no valid findings). 
  Thank you very much for your time, 
  Dionysis Panos
