ethnography as a research methodology of Web 2.0

The ethnography, when successful, provides information on social life much richer than most other research methods . Once we know how to see things from within a particular group (community) is likely to reach an understanding deeper why certain people act in a given manner.

The network is generating virtual communities of an emerging culture, and the possibility of ethnography as a research methodology in these spaces of social interaction.

It also has the ally generated from electronic storage of records (eg Moodle ): statistics on entry, stay and places visited, participation in forums ...

is curious as follow someone "and" our fans "are, in short, a trait participant observation rather than applicable in ethnography.
