a portion of a small writing website that provides possible sources of inspiration for the site's writers - encourages writers to seek inspiration from others writers/artists

A portion of a writing community website focused on poetry where writers can post work and receive comments

A web site full of observations, art work, thoughts, literature, sciences, and pretty much anything else you can think of. It is unclear to me whether or not the people who post these things are famous in some way, but the site definitely has some well known names on it. It is also unclear what the purpose of the information is, but after a quick browse it seemed to be mainly for entertainment.

In another bookmark I posted an article about Iowa being one of the first hospitals to use Twitter in the operating room. The patient underwent a hysterectomy and the surgeon sent over 300 tweets to the patients' family members about the process of the surgery. Here are some of the actual tweets that were sent...

This is a wiki - so anyone can edit - that provides collectively authored and accessible free tax advice. An excellent example of collective effort.

Where the postsecret community adds even more personal touch to this project

Postcards from Splitsville - Children expressing themselves about divorce. A local school in Alabama using Post Secret as therapy for children of divorce.

This website archives text message poetry. what is most interesting about this site is that it is interactive. you control your own journey through the poetry via the interactive cell phone.

Lawrence Lessig deals with the read/write remix culture and the copyright laws that are attempting to strangle this new form of expression. The father of Creative Commons, Lessig exposes intellectual property law and its absurdity in today's internet culture. The website offers clips of Lessig's presentations about this topic. This will be helpful for my topic, which is essentially a form of read/write collaborative remixing. This will help me to define the laws governing this innovative culture.

This website deals with remix videos. It allows people to create their own remixes as well as informs them about the laws regulating copyright and remix issues. This is another forum, like YouTube and Creative Commons, that encourages and allows users to interact, recreate, and remix the topic of his or her liking. It will be helpful to my topic by providing yet another example of the fascination and movement toward interacting with a published and copyrighted item. It also helps me to define how remixing videos should be governed.

The Online Gamers Anonymous website offers an interesting take on anonymous online authorship. In the case of "excessive game players," it is likely that these site users are especially interested in protecting their identities. Still, this website allows suffers of excessive game playing to access information about their problems and interact with other online gamers without giving away their identities. The site offers numerous resources for gamers and their families including, chat rooms, meetings, world news, and information about other organizations that seek to help online gamers to overcome their problems. Users can also write in about their own experiences and offer their help to others.

- another possible source of artistry on the web that could hold connections amongst authors with a common theme in nature, not sure if I'll use this one or not

The PostSecret Community site offers information to members of the PostSecret "community." The site offers access to information on PostSecret events and news as well as the opportunity to chat with the creator of PostSecret, Frank Warren. The site also answers questions that are likely raised by users of the PostSecret website. I choose to bookmark this site because it demonstrates the sense of community that users achieve from visiting sites that feature work from anonymous authors. Although the members of the PostSecret community remain unknown to one another, they still feel as though they are unified by the project.

"Free Online Poetry Community, Submit Your Poetry Free" - link is an example of nature in poetry, used for my google.docs presentation

An Internet celebrity, cyberstar or online celebrity is someone who has become famous by means of the Internet. Such fame is based less upon raw numbers, as with traditional media. Instead, the wide reach of the Internet allows people to reach a narrow audience across the world and so become famous within a particular internet community. Many millions of people write online journals or weblogs. In many cases, they write anonymously or their focus is upon a specialist topic. But if the author has or develops a distinctive personality, their fame will derive from this as much as from the content of their blog.

The Internet is setting a new standard for celebrity. Fame is no longer about getting "15 minutes"; it's about becoming famous to 15 people. "> text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
