DIGC102 - What are we looking for in conversational analysis?

language — jargon/specialised language

multimodal?

Authority/order/social behaviour is constructed in conversation

 - who is allowed to speak

failers, anyone, appears to target certain people

 - Turn-taking (frequency and length)

once sidetracked comment threads can go on for quite a while

 - treatment of ‘noobs’

humiliation, ignorance

 - norms and enforcement of norms

what norms?

 - ‘power users’

 - definition of purpose

 - moderation

none

 - silenced?

 - decisions about whats ‘on topic’

anything is valid. just prepare to get humiliated.

neenerneener - talks about beauty

 - who/what is a troll?

Troll_bot_5000

Ouch! These trolls are getting thick. I gotta whip up a new batch of Troll-Away soon!

 - how/when/where is help offered, accepted or asked for?

DIGC101 My Myspace Identity

On Myspace I plan to use it to promote my other blog And For Tonights Main Act… which is the focus for my web presence in DIGC101.

And For Tonights Main Act… focuses on interestingly named bands from Triple J Unearthed web pages. The names dont have to fit into a particular genre or category, they just have to grab my attention.

The Myspace account will be used as another outlet for posts I write, linking to and from the blog, as well as updates and posts specifically for Myspace.

This is a better shoe :P
