Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was sadly disappointed by this book. I expected a book that would tell me about doing netnography using the modern Internet. All the examples used the old Usenet newsgroups. There was no information about doing ethnographic research with blogs. About 95% of the book could have been written 15-years ago and it was applicable then. It lacks awareness of how Web 2.0 changed the face of online communities.

This exciting new text is the first to explore the discipline of ‘Netnography' - the conduct of ethnography over the internet - a method specifically designed to study cultures and communities online. For the first time, full procedural guidelines for the accurate and ethical conduct of ethnographic research online are set out, with detailed, step-by-step guidance to thoroughly introduce, explain, and illustrate the method to students and researchers. The author also surveys the latest research on online cultures and communities, focusing on the methods used to study them, with examples focusing on the new elements and contingencies of the blogosphere (blogging), microblogging, videocasting, podcasting, social networking sites, virtual worlds, and more.
