			**Comment: Alan and Alex, I think your topic is fascinating and I wanted to chip in my 2 cents which might help your research. Considering the different natures of sites that ultimately sell the same product, I would consider looking at how the two compete in response to one another. By this I mean, is Match doing something that eHarmony isn, and therefore, is eHarmony a bit jealous and trying to get into their market? I know that eHarmony lauched their more casual spinoff "Jazzed.com" which is meant to steal people away from Match. Is Jazzed a suggestion that privacy isn't all that important to frustrated singles? I think that there are also rather large differences in target audience between the two competitors, with eHarmony focusing on a bit older, more conservative crowd while Match goes for the "single and ready to mingle."Also, perhaps look at each companies approach to user profile creation over time, have they changed at all and in what ways? This looks like it'll be an exciting project, I'm looking forward to what you find! ([[User:Lewtak\|Lewtak]] 21:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC))

			**Comment: Tymoteusz, I find you topic very interesting. <p> I am wondering as a product of your research if you will study the proportion of individuals who are super users compared to commercial organizations using these tools. That is, in respect to commercial organizations using the various tools, how important is the individual? Over time, is the place of the individual becoming more or less important? I would suspect that part of this equation depends upon the rate at which people are able to monetize their involvement as much as how commercial organizations are co-opting the modalities. Is there a constant influx of new blood or will the ability of individuals to monetize their involvement decrease over time? <p>It may be fascinating to see is this is an indication of a generative system over the long run or something that may peak and decline. Good luck! --[[User:Gclinch\|Gclinch]] 03:26, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
			***'' Response: Gclinch, Thanks for all of your input! I initially didn't think to so much as include corporations, but taking a second glance at the subject you're right. I would be foolish to not look at motivations for companies and individuals alike to join sites as super-users. If I can find historical data on users from these sites, I'd like to especially take a look at whether it was individuals who joined first and became super-users, or if corporations jumped onto the "ball game" with individuals following. I suspect the latter isn't true, but I will try to distinguish between companies that joined these sites early on versus already popular companies that grew their earlier existent popularity.'' ([[User:Lewtak\|Lewtak]] 21:20, 1 March 2011 (UTC))
			**Comment: One thing that is very interesting about internet communities is the ability of certain super users to arise. You will find it in all communities from IRC to blogs to forums to games and so on. Normally these are the folks to spend 60+ hours a week on their system (might want to look up references on hours as it relates to superusers) and this is their exposure to the "outside" world. There are different kinds of super users as well. There are the mentors who want to help the community evolve and guide users in the right direction, gently correct them when they are wrong, and are just generally helpful. There are also the dictatorial power mongers who will ban, delete, disparage, etc... anything they don't like, no matter how small the violation or mistake may be. There are many super user personalities in between as well. These individuals do it because they want to do it, not because of pay. Sites that can entice a user community to police itself significantly reduces their overhead costs and still, normally, maintains a good site with good content and a happy user community. Unless, of course, they select a powerMAD person to be the superuser in which case everyone will eventually get upset and move to greener pastures. [[User:Rakundig\|Rakundig]]

	When you ask, “Is free press necessary for democracy?” many of us would say, obviously yes. Reading your prospectus though makes me wonder, “what do we mean today by a free press.” Does phenomenon such as Mexican citizens taking, “on the civic responsibility of alerting other citizens by providing detailed and unfiltered information,” redefine what we mean when we use the term press? I’ll be looking forward to reading your conclusions.		When you ask, “Is free press necessary for democracy?” many of us would say, obviously yes.

I’ll be looking forward to reading your conclusions.
	I’d also be interested to learn if you think there is something unique about Mexican culture that compels people to get involved. It seems to me that these citizen journalists are taking huge risks. Even less than the professional journalists, there would seem to be no safety net. After all isn’t it easy for the drug cartels to find out who is issuing the alerts. Is it a demographic trend, is it youth driven or does it span the population? Is it something unique about the way Mexican people relate to one another that makes people get involved? Thanks for taking on such an interesting and challenging topic. --[[User:Gclinch\|Gclinch]] 02:57, 1 March 2011 (UTC)		I’d also be interested to learn if you think there is something unique about Mexican culture that compels people to get involved.

	**Comment: Jillian, this is a clever topic.

	**Comment: I am sorry if I am posting belated remarks but it seems that your topic, along with many other topics related to this type of mental state, overlooks the origins of the same sex attraction for males, that is, pederasty, which by nature can affect the mind set of the near situated females. It is widely argued in the world, may be not in the entire U.S., that the same sex attraction among men is not a genetic phenomenon, but rather it is the bodily stigma imposed either during the childhood or during the adultery. In the majority of cases, I refer to child molestation cases with a few exceptions, neither adult nor a child is able to recall the first same sex sexual experience, which decisively suggests on the unconscious intercourse under the influence of a sedative and/or somnolent substance. In the scholarly papers similar to this, you may find the old and new findings that can explain both the political and biological causes of mental and physical attraction in the same sex: http://www.ched.uq.edu.au/index.html?page=39750&pid=0 It is no doubt that the nature has produced hermaphrodites, but their amount is nothing in comparison to what America or Lebanon has. Hence, it is not the nature that produces them. Overall, you have very intelligent approach to tackle the puzzle of how homosexuals are created in a society with many religious denominations like Lebanon and the U.S.. As far as I know, it is a scientific fact that in order to have stigma a body should have most of its sensitive erogenous zones irritated. The next piece of the puzzle: by coincidence, the amount of child molestation cases among Jehova Witnesses exceeds the amount of all sexual scandals among Catholic, Muslim, and Orthodox religions. So, here is the Bingo - the amount of religious sects which are striving to get your trust and intimacy and visit you at home and may be have a "drink" or "dinner" with you is equally proportional to the amount of homosexuals in the society. So, the taboo is coming from the kind of common sense I mentioned above; unfortunately or may be fortunately for many Jews in Lebanon, not everyone is able to crunch this trust game puzzle in reality right away. May be your project will help to make this devastating syndrome that originates from the terrible crime disappear from any society. --[[User:VladimirK\|VladimirK]] 06:10, 13 March 2011 (UTC)		**Comment: I am sorry if I am posting belated remarks but it seems that your topic, along with many other topics related to this type of mental state, overlooks the origins of the same sex attraction for males, that is, pederasty, which by nature can affect the mind set of the near situated females.

	**Comment: I am sorry if I am posting belated remarks but it seems that your topic, along with many other topics related to this type of mental state, overlooks the origins of the same sex attraction for males, that is, pederasty, which by nature can affect the mind set of the near situated females. It is widely argued in the world, may be not in the entire U.S., that the same sex attraction among men is not a genetic phenomenon, but rather it is the bodily stigma imposed either during the childhood or during the adultery. In majority cases, I refer to child molestation cases with a few exceptions, neither adult nor a child is able to recall the first same sex sexual experience, which decisively suggests on the unconscious intercourse under the influence of a sedative and/or somnolent substance. In the scholarly papers similar to this, you may find the old and new findings that can explain both the political and biological causes of mental and physical attraction in the same sex: http://www.ched.uq.edu.au/index.html?page=39750&pid=0 It is no doubt that the nature has produced hermaphrodites, but their amount is nothing in comparison to what America or Lebanon has. Hence, it is not the nature that produces them. Overall, you have very intelligent approach to tackle the puzzle of how homosexuals are created in a society with many religious denominations like Lebanon and the U.S.. I ~~believe~~ it is a scientific fact that in order to have stigma a body should have most of its sensitive erogenous zones irritated. The next piece of puzzle: by coincidence, the amount of child molestation cases among Jehova Witnesses exceeds the amount of all sexual scandals among Catholic, Muslim, and Orthodox religions. So, here is the Bingo - the amount of religious sects which are striving to get your trust and intimacy and visit you at home and may be have a "drink" or "dinner" with you is equally proportional to the amount of homosexuals in the society. So, the taboo is coming from the kind of common sense I mentioned above; unfortunately or may be fortunately for many Jews in Lebanon, not everyone is able to crunch this trust game puzzle in reality right away. May be your project will help to make this devastating syndrome that originates from the terrible crime disappear from any society. --[[User:VladimirK\|VladimirK]] 06:10, 13 March 2011 (UTC)		**Comment: I am sorry if I am posting belated remarks but it seems that your topic, along with many other topics related to this type of mental state, overlooks the origins of the same sex attraction for males, that is, pederasty, which by nature can affect the mind set of the near situated females.

	**Comment: Jillian, this is a clever topic. I think in America, we often take for granted what the Civil Rights Movement did for communities beyond racial and sexual orientation lines--it really impacted our cultural norm mindset.
