“Women’s Online Gaming Communities: Don’t Hate the Game, Hate the Players” Pervasive stereotypes such as ‘women don’t game’, ‘women don’t know how to game’ and ‘women don’t play violent videogames’ have long saturated the media as an explanation of why there are not more women gaming. The purpose of this presentation is to address these stereotypes and examine the online gaming experiences of women in Xbox Live that may explain why women appear absent in online gaming spaces. Using data from the GamerchiX Forum, I will discuss issues of harassment that women experience, and how the GamerchiX community (consisting of 2700 female gamers) offers different types of social support to address and overcome these negative gaming experiences, and how GamerchiX creates a safe, secure and encouraging community of female gamers. Moreover, I will explore the role GamerchiX plays in the lives of these women outside of gaming, which often encompass forum discussions that are not related to gaming at all, face-to-face meetings and associations in such spaces as Facebook.

During the last few years the Internet has been increasingly used by people as a read-write medium. Thanks to the dropped prices and skills necessary to afford and use technologies aimed to create digital contents, a large amount of people in the world is now able to produce persistent digital information. The online network of communications is persistent, searchable, replicable and addressed to an invisible audience. Due to these properties online conversations may be analyzed with content analysis techniques, qualitative or quantitative. The aim of this paper is to show how this large amount of data might be used for sociological research. In particular, the paper will present either an example of research and a technological approach. Youtube.com is arguably the most popular site for people who are eager to share video across the Internet and it is the largest of all video sharing websites. In order to understand new visual cultures of pregnancy and birth, one cannot fail to consider the impressive number of videos tagged with the words “pregnancy”, “birth” and “ultrasounds”. We aim at analyzing this contemporary phenomenon both by examining many videos, and by emphasizing the shift from birth as a private experience to parturition as a “networked event” potentially shared with anyone. One important aspect of this paper is the technological approach towards the realization of a software platform to retrieve information via web. This solution allows social scientists to manage data modeling, fruition and analysis using a new kind of service based application. The system we will present manages data in RSS format, retrieves information by consuming service brokers provided by major web 2.0 sites. In addiction, our system allows indexing and search operation to allow end user to query optimize their tag classification and retrieve pertinent data transforming information by a graphical engine directly on the web.
