Participation, animation, design : a tripartite approach to urban community networking., Foth, Marcus (2010)

WiFi Publics: Producing Community and Technology, Alison Powell, Information, Communication & Society, Vol. 11, No. 8, pp. 1068-1088, December 2008

Pioneers, subcultures and cooperatives: the grassroots augmentation of urban places, Mark Gaved and Paul Mulholland

Walter Benjamin’s Dionysian Adventures on Google Earth, Paul Kingsbury and John Paul Jones III

"Indeed, Benjamin’s much studied Parisian flâneur invites numerous parallels to the Google Earth user as an anonymous wandering detective, an active spectator whose meanders over the landscape are guided in parts by the former’s ‘distracted attentions’ (Lucas 2004) and in other parts by the latter’s web-produced ‘attentive distractions’. Both subjects have been enabled by architectonic and techno-scientific shifts: in one case from the vehicle-dense, pedestrian-unfriendly streets of Paris to the intensely peopled, ambulatory experience of the arcades (Lucas, 2004); in the other case from the static folds and turns of paper maps and atlases to the mobile, twinkling screens. And both flâneur and Googler Earthling stroll (or scroll) through space: ‘‘Land- scape – that, in fact, is what Paris becomes for the flâneur. Or, more precisely: the city splits for him [sic] into its dialectical poles. It opens up to him as a landscape, even as it closes around him as a room” (Benjamin, 1999, p. 417).", pages 3-4

Shaping the Web: Why the Politics of Search Engines Matters" The Information Society 16:169-185 Introna L D, and H. Nissenbaum. 2000.

Main ideas: duality between decentralized (public good) and centralized (private, market) media; priorities in search engines: collective preferences vs. the force of entities that want visibility; important is the awareness of the alternatives to market choices.

Relevant to: space ownership, search engines database

Lessons learned for the design of hybrid communities: make transparent the core criteria for evaluation, arbitration, access of information into the community database. Is it important or not for the community site to have visibility?

The creative reconstruction of the Internet: Google and the privatization of cyberspace and Digispace Matthew A. Zook and Mark Grahama Geoforum, Volume 38, Issue 6, November 2007, Pages 1322-134

Main ideas: the power of software in influencing the creation of "digiplaces"

Relevant to: space representation, ownership

Lessons learned for the design of hybrid communities: Nice examples of collaborative space representation thtough annotation

Interesting details: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ (google earth community)

The paper presents some nice examples of interactions in this community and the power of google to censor and control the content being presented

Default zoom in google earth leading to the hometown of a google's senior person :-)

Reflection: open software is a key aspect that can help us address most of the concerns of the authors.
