  • Changes on the Electronic Frontier: Growth and Opportunity of the World-Wide Web
    Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice, 1998
    Co-Authors: Scott Takacs, Jon B. Freiden
    Abstract:

    Interest in marketing applications pertaining to the Internet has been increasing dramatically. In an earlier work (Freiden and Takacs 1995), the authors proposed that there would be opportunities for an expanded role for promotional activities on the Internet. This paper presents data from a longitudinal analysis of these activities on the World-Wide Web to determine which of these opportunities have been fulfilled. The authors had suggested that the fledgling Web represented a significant opportunity for business, and that some businesses more than others would seize the moment. Research on characteristics of users is discussed, as well as implications for marketing strategies.

  • Daily Life in Cyberspace: How the Computerized Counterculture Built a New Kind of Place
    Social Media Archeology and Poetics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Howard Rheingold
    Abstract:

    Reprinted from legendary cyberspace pioneer Howard Rheingold's classic, The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier, “Daily Life in Cyberspace: How the Computerized Counterculture Built a New Kind of Place” situates the reader in the context of social media before the World Wide Web. Rheingold narrates how he became involved in The WELL community; details community and personalities on The WELL; and documents user experience with the WELL's conferencing system, including how conversations are created and organized and how social media compares to face to face dialog. Rheingold also explores social media-based dialog in terms of reciprocity; “elegantly presented knowledge”; the tradition of conversation in the Athenian agora; and the value of freedom of expression. Introduced by Judy Malloy.

  • Critical Thinking and Socio-Technical Methods for Ascertaining Credibility Online
    Transparency in Social Media, 2015
    Co-Authors: Howard Rheingold, Sorin Adam Matei
    Abstract:

    SM: Howard, I would like to start with the deep past of online sociability, online social interaction of the 1980s—when you were a member of the Well, the famous bulletin board that pioneered the idea of online community. We all read your book Virtual Community, Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier, and we remember vividly the justification you offered for writing the book and for theorizing about virtual communities—which was that, at the time, people thought of the idea of getting together with other people online as weird, as nerdy, as disturbing, even as a form of social deviance; that nothing good can come out of it, that it is just an adulteration of social life, a weakening of social ties. Was the fear of online interaction that intense in the 1980s?

  • the virtual community homesteading on the Electronic Frontier
    2000
    Co-Authors: Howard Rheingold
    Abstract:

    From the Publisher: Praised as "one of the ten best books of the year" by Business Week, this lively and provocative look inside the development, inner workings and future of the Internet is a must-read for anyone hoping to understand the next wave of human culture and communication."Read, learn, smile, weep, enjoy: managers, policy-makers, and fellow citizens, this book is worth your time." --Tom PetersA

  • The Virtual Community: Finding Commection in a Computerized World
    1993
    Co-Authors: Howard Rheingold
    Abstract:

    From the Publisher: The technology news is filled with money as corporate moguls from Hollywood, the cable business, the computer industry, and the telephone companies scramble to exploit America's much ballyhooed "Electronic Superhighway". Suddenly, the interlinked network for computerized communication that grew up quietly on its own is gushing "Infotainment" possibilities. Interactive is the buzz word today, alongside convergence, cyberspace, and digital future. In The Virtual Community, Howard Rheingold returns the focus of our attention to people, working back from this commercialized present to the very beginnings of computer-mediated communication, giving us the lay of the land before it was discovered by government and the corporate giants. What he reveals to us is a true Electronic Frontier of fiercely independent enthusiasts who have created closely knit communities and a rich culture on-line, exchanging everything from scientific data to sexual fantasies, child-rearing tips, and free-ranging political opinions. As Rheingold makes clear, this one of several possible "futures" already exists in very appealing form on-line. The question he poses is: Will these original homesteaders on the Electronic Frontier now be driven out by the "railroad and cattle barons" of the communications industry? Even more important, through censorship and commercialization, will we all lose the greatest resource ever for community-building and the free expression of ideas, even before most of us know of its existence? Howard Rheingold is the ultimate insider on networked communication, a key participant in the Bay Area "WELL" on-line community. Venturing out from his own neighborhood on the WELL, he gives us a tour of on-line culture in Japan, England, France, and on small and large bulletin boards and networks throughout the United States. He shows us the depth of human interaction made possible, ironically enough, by this seemingly faceless technology, as well as the power of true electroni

  • Application of LFSRs for Parallel Sequence Generation in Cryptologic Algorithms
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006
    Co-Authors: Sourav Mukhopadhyay, Palash Sarkar
    Abstract:

    We consider the problem of efficiently generating sequences in hardware for use in certain cryptographic algorithms. The conventional method of doing this is to use a counter. We show that sequences generated by linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) can be tailored to suit the appropriate algorithms. For hardware implementation, this reduces both time and chip area. As a result, we are able to suggest improvements to the design of DES Cracker built by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in 1998; provide an efficient strategy for generating start points in time-memory trade/off attacks; and present an improved parallel hardware implementation of a variant of the counter mode of operation of a block cipher.

  • ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security - POSTER: Secure Chat for the Masses? User-centered Security to the Rescue
    Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security, 2015
    Co-Authors: Ruba Abu-salma, M. Angela Sasse, Joseph Bonneau, Matthew Smith
    Abstract:

    In light of recent revelations of mass state surveillance of phone and Internet communications, many solutions now claim to provide secure messaging. This includes both a broad range of new projects and several widely adopted applications that have added security features. However, despite the demand for better solutions, there is no clear winner in the race for widespread development and deployment of messaging products. Recently, the Electronic Frontier Foundation evaluated dozens of messaging tools based on security best practices, and publicized the results via the Secure Messaging Scorecard. Our goal is to expand the scorecard by evaluating messaging tools on a range of usefulness (utility and usability) attributes.
