Thanks for checking in @michael! I’m currently experiencing burnout from my job, but — interestingly — the work for my MLIS degree has been giving me the jolt to keep going! I guess there is something to say […]

@agroves I like your topic, and it sounds like it will help you for your future career! One thing I thought of is to also research about “major life transitions” or “career transitions”, and it might lead you to more insight on your information community. It might extend your search some more, but it might also retrieve info from other disciplines…[Read more]

@michael I’ve been focusing on the Twitch streaming community, and I believe I found my information community. I like how I can focus on both “streamers” and the “viewers”, and it is a rather new area of research for information behaviors. Thank you for suggesting to look into Hektor!

@hellodaniel Perfect!

Choosing Your Community Discussion 2 months, 2 weeks agoHi everyone. I’m leaning more into the intersections of leisure and information seeking behavior. My initial community of hardcore video game players was interesting initially, but after going down the rabbit hole of other leisure activities, I ended up going two, more personally exciting, directions:
(1) The live-streaming community, like…[Read more]-
@hellodaniel either of these communities would be very interesting to focus on. For the live streaming community, you might have to pull from the broader literature, devoted to information behaviors and needs within social media, communities or creators communities. That would offer a lot of different studies to pull from to inform your view of…[Read more]

Thank you for your advice. I’ll research Hektor’s information activities, as well as topics on leisure and fandoms.
Currently, I’m looking into competitive players of Pokemon video games. (There are less research specifically on my topic, compared to Pokemon Go. I might change it later.) I have been playing around with my search terms (“hardcore…[Read more]

@hellodaniel For our purposes in INFO 200, it is best to observe what members of an information community fro online but not interview or engage in any way. I have a post going up soon about this. INFO 200 is a literature and resources based class. To interview or survey folks you must take INFO 285, etc.

Hi Asia. You make really great points! I’m definitely just a fan of the video games and the lore, and I could definitely look at other subcommunities like competitive players or Pokemon Go players. Those two are the ones that I’m more interested in. Thanks for helping me think things through!

Choosing Your Community Discussion 3 months agoHi everyone! I’m thinking of researching the Pokemon gaming community. My idea of doing this is definitely tied to nostalgia, specifically the RPG aspect of the mainline games. The Pokemon franchise, of course, has gotten older and has evolved to suit different demographics, all of whom have interact with information in different ways.
Anyways,…[Read more]

Hey, Daniel! Are you an all-around Pokemon super fan? Or are you specifically into the videogames, but maybe not the trading cards? Or not playing competitively? How about the anime series? As my spouse is constantly reminding me, “Pokemon is the most popular franchise in the world,” so it has a lot of subcommunities with different information…[Read more]

@hellodaniel I like your idea. My first thought that came into my head was a framework, utilizing serious leisure as a way to understand the information behaviors and needs of Pokémon fans. There is also some burgeoning research on fan communities in general usually for fans, we look at serious leisure and framework such as Hektor’s information…[Read more]

Crossword enthusiast here too! (Fairly recent one.) I’ve been knocking out the Apple News Crosswords! Also I’m going to give Two Girls One Crossword a try.

I hadn’t realized Apple News has crosswords! Sometimes one crossword a day is simply not enough, so this is exciting haha

Ooh! I should try listening to podcasts in another language. I want to learn French!

I love french music. I don’t quite understand it, but the language sounds so beautiful. I love Stromae, L’imperatrice, and Polo&Pan

I’ve listened and enjoyed Stromae before! I’ll take a listen at the other artists. Thanks!

My Favorite Podcast 3 months agoHey everyone! I haven’t listened to podcasts in a while. (I think I’m currently in my audiobook “season”.) However, I do have these go-to podcasts:
– Las Culturistas. A comedy, pop culture podcast hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. They end their episodes with “I Don’t Think So, Honey” where they do a one-minute diatribe about something in pop…[Read more] -
