Web as platform for services
Continuous improvement (beta)
Rich user interfaces
Architecture of participation (self-serve)
Design for hackability & remixability
Data transformability
Web services that allow users to: Collaborate, remix Dynamically update (RSS) Interact innovate Be irreverent Foster Openness, Folksonomies Micro-content sharing between
domains, servers, machines (Google Maps)
Web 1.0 was all about connecting Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space, and people. It was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0 is of course, I think Web 2.0 is of course, a piece of a piece of jargonjargon, nobody even knows what it , nobody even knows what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is people to people?wikis, then that is people to people?

Identity Development
Relationship Building
Peer Support
If it was really exciting I would post about it. . . . I remember the second I was done I got on MS and I was like [in his post]: ‘I just finished my extended essay and it was really great and its awesome.’ And that is an example of my emotions
(Jeremy, high school student)
Multi-media platform for self-presentation & impression management
Identity work online: the “construction of cool”
• Self-reflection on gender, sexual identity, ethnicity• Concealment versus revelation
Sometimes when I feel kind of kid-dish I will put on pastel looking backgrounds or if feel like serious than I put on black backgrounds but I must remain feminine, so what I have right now is a black background with pink flowers.
(Lily, high school student).
SNSs may help users build more and stronger relationships of various types:
• Bridging capital: our “friends of friends”• Bonding capital: “shoulder to cry on”• Maintained capital: our “ability to mobilize
resources from previous network” (e.g., high school friends, foster families, prior support groups)
[I learn] more things and deeper things about ttheir personality. Like at school we wouldn’t tell…really close or too personal about ourselves. But on MySpace they are more comfortable to share it on there.
(Brandy, high school student)
Intensifying already close ties • Friends, Family
I get more information [about a person] that I wouldn’t have otherwise…their relationship status; what college they are going to; like what they are going through on a personal level... You get afforded different opportunities from the site like with the [presidential campaign] caucus invitation. I wouldn’t have been able to go there. I wouldn’t have known how to get there otherwise.
(Tanya, high school student)
Extend connections to people & information• Online features smooth paths to offline relationships
I was online and I opened up my Word document to type it up and he [saw a friend online in MS] was saying [using IM] how he was doing too and it was really comforting because I knew I was not the only one doing it. And then, he would ask, “What did you write for Chapter 6?” …and we kind of share ideas that way.
(Lee, high school student
Blurs social & education-related task support
It’s going to be so hard going out there by myself [to college faraway where she is the only Hmong girl] so I’m gonna need to message people about how I’m feeling….
(Kari, high school senior off to East coast school)
Blurs social & education-related support in times of transition
Technological fluencies Communication/Collaboration Creativity
People like to be more creative with projects because there’s so much to do on MySpace. You could change so many things…the picture…the outlook of your whole profile. ...Because of that, I think people do try to be more creative and alter things a little to make it more personal to them.
(Carl, high school senior, age 18)
People create learning contexts for themselves (offline-online spaces blurred)
Youth-initiated interest driven communities can span boundaries of formal education/outreach programs, home, & in-between.
Youth-initiated interest communities can
be self-sustaining given adequate time, freedom, and access to material and people resources
