Hi all,

It is also my first time writing in the list.

This week I have started a course on International Accounting where I am
using a SNS to connect around 100 people in the class. I have prepared an
"emerging paper" on this experience and looking forward to getting the
results by the end of May.

I would be very interested to keep in contact with other researchers working
on this. My field is finance and accounting, but my PhD research is based on
Webometric techniques. I am trying also to explore Web 2.0 tools in the
class and report on the experience.

Dear Christine I would also be very interested to read your literature
review when it is ready.

Best,

Esteban Romero Frías
