thomas n. burg - on social media and its benefits for us, and sometimes gossip.

March 3rd, 2006

Well, I’m not sure if I’m entirely happy with that interview. The ORF (=Austrian Broadcasting Corp) asked me about Austrian political parties websites.

What stroke me most was the statistical information the journalist uttered: the average Zib2 viewer is 62 years of age. They already know that the youth is online not watching TV anymore. A EIAA research paper from June 2005 confirms that for Europe.

[Indirect comment]: Not nervous at all, tried ambitiously to enlight the journalists :-). Dieter, don’t like your comment system, would never register for just a word or two

    Will, I’m not sure too… it was combined with usage of the Alexa-Ranking to analyze sites of political parties and their quality. In times of elections the political parties of course use weblogs, podcasts and stuff like that, but tell me one thing… who built a relationship to Margot Wallström?

    I mean, there were blogs at the presidential election and there were blogs, podcasts, communities during the pre-elective months in vienna (last autumn)… they already use the tools, but blogging is not the solution for political parties imho. It’s much more campaigning, getting together and recruiting-actions than simple blogging as we saw in the u. s. presidential elections…

    Thanks for your comment. Nothing to add you are right.
    The more general question, however, is: how do the political parties conceive of the web? I think they see the web as just another broadcasting media. and, of course, the web is far more than broadcasting.

    @Wallström: you need to ask the journalist, she said that ;-).
    On the other hand: a weblog offers the opportunity to build relationships - the opportunity not more.
