Starting my thesis

Filed under: Uncategorized — by peterras @ 8:15 pm

Today I had a meeting with Doug regarding my options for doing a thesis with the basic theme: "IT in Business". The discussion involved the basic title "How does web site design affect on-line business performance", which now has to be narrowed into a smaller and more manageable thesis topic, leaving me with quite a bit to think about. Thankfully, Lydia's class is meant to refine this essay question. The first primary question was: Should it be specific and technical or a softer analysis of website user psychology? I'm currently leaning towards the technical side, since I believe I'd find the psychology a bit too chit-chatty.

I was also introduced to a few techie community websites that could help me out, the URLs of which I've already managed to forget. Help! :S

Untill next time…

  1. Great first entry on the long road to your thesis!

    The missing URLs are:
    http://slashdot.org/
    http://digg.com
    http://del.icio.us/d0gbyte/ (that’s my own page on del.icio.us)

    I’ll send you many more over the course of the project, so you may wish to think about how you’re going to organise them.
