I figured this would interest most people in our class. "As Election Day nears, Twitter's new "Political Engagement Map" lets users see where people are most interested about specific issues -- at least as measured by tweeting patterns."

This article is pretty relevant to the readings we have for this week. I found it interesting that despite having many friends on Facebook, the author defines all of his "real" friends by things that they do in face-to-face situations, which doesn't really consider long distance relationships.

Interesting article about the increasing blend of work life and personal life. I'm not sure if I'd advocate adding a friend on Facebook - while I can control my own posts I'm not sure I can trust that I'd be able to manage my Facebook in a way that would absolutely ensure a manager wouldn't see an undesirable post from someone else before I had time to delete it.

This is really interesting article following the ways in which Lady Gaga has capitalized on using social media to promote her brand - especially now that she has her own social networking site for her fans that launched earlier this summer. I don't consider myself an avid fan of hers, but I'm really impressed with the way she uses social media to interact and connect with her fans; which is basically the only reason why I follow her on Twitter.

Here is a graphic that captures a visual history of scrollbars from 1981 to the present. I point out the trend towards making the scrollbar less and less noticeable, with fewer graphical details to signal to users its function given its progressive ubiquity. The scrollbar is the visual equivalent of "More informaiton, please!"
