Should Reddit Be Blamed for the Spreading of a Smear? - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • By 8 p.m., three hours after the F.B.I. released the suspects’ photos, angry messages began to appear on the Tripathi’s Facebook page, and at 8:15 Ravi received a phone call from a reporter at ABC News in New York, who asked if Sunil had been spotted in Boston and if Ravi had seen the F.B.I. photos of Suspect No. 2. Ravi, unclear at what she was getting at, told her there had been no word from Sunil.

      3 hours for information to spread
  • The Facebook page was created with the hope that if Sunil searched for himself, he would find loving messages from his family and friends.

      Facebook- Digital Tool
  • At 10:56 p.m., Stone tweeted: “I’m sure by now the @fbipressoffice is looking into this dude” and included a link to the Facebook page. Seven minutes later, she tweeted: “Seconds after I sent that tweet the page is gone off of Facebook. If you can cache it . . .” Several journalists began tweeting out guarded thoughts about Sunil’s involvement.

      Twitter - Digital Tool
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • At 2:43 a.m., a Twitter user named Greg Hughes (@ghughesca), who was previously tweeting things like, “In 2013, all you need [is] a connection to the Boston police scanner and a Twitter feed to know what’s up. We don’t even need TV anymore,”
  • Seven minutes later, Kevin Galliford, a journalist for a TV station in Hartford, relayed the same information to his own followers; Galliford’s tweet was retweeted more than 1,000 times in a matter of minutes.
  • Andrew Kaczynski, a journalist at BuzzFeed, who sent out the police-scanner misinformation to his 81,000 followers
  • @YourAnonNews, a Twitter news feed connected to the hacker collective Anonymous, tweeted out Tripathi’s name to the hundreds of thousands of people
  • Roughly 300 Twitter users retweeted Malinowski’s second post on the subject, including the pop-culture blogger Perez Hilton, who sent Sunil Tripathi’s name out to more than six million followers.
  • Reddit enjoyed record-breaking traffic numbers during the Boston coverage, and the company has always considered itself “content agnostic,” meaning that as long as what’s being posted is legal, Reddit will not intervene and take it down.
  • @YourAnonNews is very likely to surpass the Twitter following of most major American newspapers. The account is followed by hundreds of journalists, myself included. For those who dream of a post-Snowden utopia where no government and corporate secrets are protected, @YourAnonNews is one of the only trustworthy news sources out there.

Can social networking boost literacy skills? - 0 views

  • The answer seems to be that they do. The National Literacy Trust found that social networking sites and blogs help students to develop more positive attitudes toward writing and to become more confident in their writing abilities.
  • 49 per cent of young people believe that writing is “boring.” However, students who use technology-based texts such as blogs have more positive attitudes toward writing. Whereas 60 per cent of bloggers say that they enjoy writing, only 40 per cent of non-bloggers find writing enjoyable.

Turnitin Systems: A Deterrent to Plagiarism in College Classrooms.: EBSCOhost - 0 views

    • Joseph Rhodes II
       
      Note 1: Most researchers conclude that digital plagiarism - Internet pr computer-driven copying without attribution - is rampant(e.g., Macdonald & Carroll, 2006; Walker, 2010) and has been for some time. Note 2: In short, computer technology and the Internet now make plagiarism an easy enterprise. A major implication of this state of affairs is that faculty will need to be more diligent in their efforts to mitigate the practice, especially those who educate large number of students (Ledwith & Risquez, 2008) Note 3:  Consequently,plagiarism detection systems offer educational research a direct empirical measurement of the behavior rather than speculation based on hearsay. Note 4: In addition to catching plagiarism when it occurs, detection systems also can be useful in deterring plagiarism outright. Note 5: a large body of evidence suggests that this software can be  an effective tool in detecting plagiarism(e.g., Batane, 2010; Ogilvie & Stewart, 2010; Tackett et al, 2010; Walker, 2010).

INTERNATIONAL IDENTITY THEFT: HOW THE INTERNET REVOLUTIONIZED IDENTITY THEF...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

    • Joseph Rhodes II
       
      Note 1: Regardless of this evidence showing that Rohn possessed many different forms of false identification, the court reversed Rohn's conviction because the government was unable to show that Rohn "knowingly possess[ed] with intent to use unlawfully or transfer unlawfully five or more identification documents"^'' as required by 18 U.S.C. § 1028(a)(3).^^ Note 2: n unlawful use because Rohn had not demonstrated a lawful one."^^ The court stated that the government tried to convict Rohn under a statute that Congress did not write, and that because the government did not technically meet all elements of the statute, the conviction had to be overturned. Thus, even though the government had charged an individual who had obviously stolen and used many different identities, the government was unable to convict this individual based on the technical language in the statute. Note 3: The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the Petitioner, holding that the government must prove that a defendant knew that the "means of identification" he or she unlawfully transferred, possessed, or used did, in fact, belong to another person.'**^  Note 4: Thus, because the government could not prove that the petitioner technically knew that the identification numbers belonged to other people, the Supreme Court reversed the aggravated identity theft charges.'*'
