    An interview with Scott McCloud, who will be lecturing at the MU Great Hall Thursday, January 27, at 8pm. McCloud is a cartoonist and theorist. His work is important to the rhetoric of technology because he deals with new ways to present information that are better suited to the computer screen.

    Ok, I can see how this will shape up. Half the class wants Delicious, and half the class wants Diigo. No problem. I'll support either one. Butt you'll have to join at least one of the two groups. Or, join both!

    Our book talked a lot about Wikipedia and the process of errors encouraging more people to edit. I thought it was kind of funny to see the biggest mess ups Wikipedia has had.

    This is also an example of what we were talking about yesterday. We can write the biography of anyone in an online encyclopedia where most people go for references..talk about power.

    An article about the Invisible Gorilla experiment. I think this is interesting not only because of the content, but of how widespread the access to this experiment has been--the youtube video has something like 3,095,286 hits.

    As Clay Shirky states: "human nature has turned out to be fairly context sensitive...enough people's behavior becomes antisocial enoughto wreck things for everyone." Programs like this one will not work unless people are motivated to make it succeed.

    Thank you, Diana! This is very interesting! It is funny that part of their advice to parents is "Surf the web together with your child - there's a lot your child can teach you." I was expecting it to say something about parents teaching kids to proper ways to surf. LOL

    Amazon introduces the Kindle that lets you share ratings of and highlighted passages from books you've read with your friends through social media networks, and introduces "Kindle Singles" -- "short stories written by well known authors and published electronically by Amazon that come at a cheaper price than full-length books," for our shorter attention spans.
