[Air-l] Analysing the analysers

[ep1curas at aol.com]

 Hello everyone,
 
This is my first post to the list. My name is Martin Calvert and I'm currently a PhD student in the department of Central & East European Studies, at the University of Glasgow. My research interests are related to the use of social networking websites in Russia.
At the moment I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to current theory about internet research. One thing that has struck me though is the way in which many books/articles discussing internet/social networking issues are written.
It often seems like authors take quite a conversational approach, often adding amusing (though illustrative) anecdotes and pop culture references beyond the remit of the work.
Is there a Generation X thing at play here?
 
Martin

about yourself. (short of wrapping your badge in tin foil)
