The Basics of Gillespie article "The Politics of 'Platforms': The article "The Politics of 'Platforms" by Tarleton Gillespie provides the information of how one word can provide many paths for an online content provider. He has grouped the word 'platform' into four distinct categories that can help define what an online software platform does. He categorizes the word platform as computational, architectual, figurative and political. All four of these categories relate to why the term ‘platform’ has "emerged in reference to online content-hosting intermediaries and, just as important, what value both its specificity and its flexibility offer them" (The Platform of Politics,p.350).

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
