The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
In a comment by @prazhari to one of my recent posts, Praz asked about the future of MROCs and about the difference between MROCs and other communities. Well here is my bash at an answer. At the moment, online research communities (or MROC if you are a fan of initials) are very useful because they are providing ...2 days ago -

As part of the book writing project I am looking to create a list of the blogs that anybody who wants to stay up to date should be following.

How many members should an MROC have?
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
One of the questions I get asked from time to time is how many members should an online research community have. Clearly the answer depends on what the community is there to achieve and what the budget is. But I still get pressed for an answer. After asking around recently I have come up with my best estimates, and ...1 week ago -
Networks change power structures
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
For a couple of years I have been pointing out to some of the larger companies that Web 2.0 and social media are changing power structures in companies. In the past, the people in the top few positions in most research companies were the most knowledgeable, and often the most skilled, a combination of experience and ...1 week ago -
Will MROCs replace BBGs?
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
To a considerable extent the difference between BBGs (Bulletin Board Groups) and online research communities (aka MROCs) is simply a generational difference. When BBGs were developed they reflected current practice in terms of how the Internet was being used to create discussions, i.e. bulletin boards. Although some ...2 weeks ago -

The Economist has a good article that sums up the latest picture about the recent release of emails from the Climate Research Unit.

Evidence based decision making
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
Earlier today I was reading an Open University study note on research methodology and I came across the sentence "The report is a presentation of argument based on evidence, not a history of a research project".

Whys has online qual not taken off?
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
OK, I accept that there is lots of online qual in absolute terms! But, if we look back to 1999, online quant was about 2% of global quant revenues, now, according to the latest ESOMAR Global Report, online quant is the single largest modality by revenue for quant research. By contrast, online qualitative has a longer ...2 weeks ago -

This post started life as part of a comment I added to a post by Surinder on his Research Talk site, but has now taken a life of its own! The growth of interest in online research communities, buzz and blog mining, Twitter, e-ethnography, and semiotics has re-opened the discussion about what is qual and what is quant. ...3 weeks ago -

Shame on you Google, you either oppose racism or support it
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
The BBC (and many others) are reporting that Google has refused to remove a shockingly racist picture of Michelle Obama. They are not even prepared to manually alter their search algorithm to ensure that anybody searching for an image of Michelle Obama is not presented with this image as the top hit. Google seem to ...3 weeks ago -
When a Tweetference goes wrong
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
This post by Danah Boyd is a painfully honest story of how a Tweetference turned into a virtual mugging of a speaker. I will not tell too much of the story, because I cannot do Danahs story justice, and I strongly recommend you read her post. Danah was a speaker at the Web2.0 Expo. She was not told in advance...3 weeks ago -

The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
The BBC have an interesting story about a review of video games. The review looked at whether video games allowed players to commit acts that in the real world would count as war crimes.

Transparency, yes please
The Future Place Blog —
Authority: 123
The fact I have some reservations about the Federation for Transparency in Offshoring (because it does not also tackle outsourcing and because it allows a logo saying 100% no offshoring, which I think panders to protectionism), should not lead people to think that I am against transparency. My feeling is that the ...3 weeks ago -
