Why a blog about Web Science?
Web Science is a new field of study, incorporating numerous disciplines to examine the Web. Many of the stories that appear in the media can be linked to Web Science, and – as far as I know – there is not currently anywhere on the Web that discusses them from this perspective.
What will be blogged about?
The aim is to put a Web Science spin on topical news stories. How has the Web contributed to the story, how could it be used to solve a particular problem, what issues that are prevalent on the Web are linked to the story? These are just some of the questions I will hope to address. Due to the various disciplines involved, many of these issues will concern topics which I may not have the best knowledge of – in these cases I hope to gain input from those who do!
