Macroconversación (#keyword) dana boyd

“Though the 140-character format is a constraint, it need not be seen as a limitation; while participants often shorten and otherwise modify tweets to fit into 140 characters, this characteristic of Twitter can also be seen as an advantage. The brevity of messages allows them to be produced, consumed, and shared without a significant amount of effort, allowing a fastpaced conversational environment to emerge. The varied approaches users take in addressing constraints reveal what they value in specific messages and in Twitter as a conversational environment. Participants’ social and informational goals vary, and accordingly, so do their retweeting practices. Regardless of why users embrace  retweeting, through broadcasting messages, they become part of a broader conversation”

Traditionally, the interview is regarded as a largely qualitative approach where the researcher becomes itself an instrument of the research method (Chen and Hinton, 1999). It is a process in which meanings are created from the personal interaction between interviewer and interviewee. Often, the interview is used in areas where quantitative research can not capture the richness of the phenomenon. It allows flexibility in data collection but it is considered as the most expensive technique. The method of online interview was developed to reduce costs associated with geographic distance of the interviewees. As in the case of online focus groups, O’Connor and Madge (2001) consider that there are two types of online interviews: the synchronized interview by instant messaging (Chen and Hinton, 1999) and a-synchronized interview by e-mail (Bennett, 1998).

The method of online interview has the advantage to be more structured than the classic interview since it leaves the interviewee the time required to respond, and allows an instant data backup. This is a method that reduces costs in terms of time, travel costs and data transcription (O’Connor and Madge, 2001). It also provides access to distant participants or to those whose availability is reduced. Nevertheless, it remains a method limited to subjects with Internet connexion and some expertise in messaging software. In addition, the loss of paralinguistic attributes can introduce a bias as to the completeness of the collected data (Chen and Hinton, 1999).

Liav (2004) mentions the liquefaction and the malleability of virtual communities and sites of their interactions as a major difficulty in monitoring the members of the community observed. Anonymity is also a problem that has been widely cited by research specialists.

The difficulty may come from the possible change in the identity of subjects (Liav, 2004) and researchers (Williams, 2007). Thus, anonymity could sow doubt in the trust relationship between the researcher and his/her subjects. Finally, the absence of the physical body remains the major challenge of online ethnography. Firstly, the interactions can distort the textual model of communication; in addition, there is a loss of meaning and significance coming from the non-verbal exchanges of gestures and body. Liav (2004) considers that the data collected are incomplete and provide a limited picture of the real world.

Several studies covered in this synthesis have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of online focus group method (Rezabek, 2000; Mann and Stewart, 2000; Williams and Robson, 2004; Stewart and Williams 2005). Like the traditional focus group technique, the online one can generate a large amount of data in a short time. This method is less costly since it allows easier access to geographically distant participants (Edmunds, 1999). In addition, the online focus group could ensure the anonymity of participants when the object of research required it. However, this method also has disadvantages. Participants in online focus groups must have access to the Internet. These methods are most appropriate when the research object is related to Internet. With electronic exchanges, there is no access to facial expressions and gestures of the participants. This reduces the wealth of information resulting from live interaction between participants. In the case of synchronized focus group online, potential problems of interference between the participants can emerge and thereby increase the difficulty of interpreting data. Finally, the anonymity, which is itself an advantage, could in some cases encourage some overruns, exaggerations or other acts that would be difficult to control by the moderator.
