Conclusion

This chapter differed from the previous chapter in that the key to investigating the Deep Web is seeing beyond the raw information to visualise the social networks that created the web content in the first instance. Think of data within the Deep Web not as isolated islands, but as complex interconnected chains of information.

The skills required for effectively exploiting the Deep Web are heavily based in social science techniques such as social network analysis, content analysis and theories such as Lave and Wenger’s concept of CoPs. The inquisitive investigator will find much material to develop their critical thinking with regard to Deep Web investigations in social science literature that examines group social phenomenon such as ganging, flash mobbing, closed communities and other forms of collective human behaviour.

Message within the medium

Social media analysis is not simply about assessing the message communicated within a written text. Often large visual cues are present within the images that individuals and groups place onto the Internet. Take, for example, the image of Osama Bin Laden: what do you notice about the weapon he is holding and what does it mean to you?
