    This venn diagram still makes me laugh. As we were reading Weinberger this week and the limits of first order organization it reminded me how the most basic information you are trying to find can be so hard to locate.

    I think this diagram is very true - I have trouble finding information for Brookdale Community College all the time ... and I work there! Colleges, like many organizations, are so bureaucratic that the important stuff gets left off the home page and is buried somewhere. Organizations can be chaotic sometimes!

    I think so true too!

    Hah! Yes -- maybe it is because the people designing the site are marketing/pr types instead of LIS grads? ;)

    This is an article about Anonymous, a group that stemmed from the website 4chan, and how they went from posting silly cat videos to organizing scientology protests and taking down sites that refused to support WikiLeaks after last year's scandal.  It also looks at power and authority structures within the nameless group

    Why I posted this: The site, which will combine social networking elements with an immersive game-like world, will fully open in October, but a lucky few will be allowed to pre-register before anyone else.

    This was the website Christine Borgman mentions in the lecture that can be searched for publisher's copyright conditions for authors archiving their work online.

    Social Networking is not really about networking; a brief history of social media websites (the timeline on launch dates still surprises me)

    I'm interested in the idea of digital privacy (or lack thereof). It seems nobody is particularly worried about their privacy online, and I'd like to learn a little more about this

    After reading your article and thinking about my own opinions on digital privacy, I think that people aren't too concerned with their privacy because the virtual world seems so gigantic. I feel like a very tiny part of this world so I am more apathetic and unconcerned when it comes to my personal privacy than I should be. Sounds horrible, right? We, as a society, also tend to be very open about ourselves - even posting where we are at that second to everyone on our facebook!

    wow...scary stuff!! i think that's a great topic with a lot to explore. a lot of content and some interesting psychological implications...funny how a lot of people ignore the issue since the evidence is pretty terrifying. but good to be aware since it affects us all.

    Interesting to also consider the ways in which teens view privacy - particularly in comparison to the ways in which their parents view it: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/relationships/identity/famous-for-15-minutes.html?play. Glad I could bring danah boyd into the conversation here!

    Elisa, I actually just got an email from Ravelry.com (an online knitting community) saying that their account database had been hacked and that I should change my password anywhere where I used the same email address and password to log in. I just went through this a few months ago when the Gawker Media servers were hacked! It's hard to rack my brain to remember every single website where I've signed up using my primary email address and go-to password. There are probably hundreds! God forbid I have accounts with that information that also have my credit card associated with it. It's scary to think about how much of me is spread all over the internet, and I can't even remember where in order to protect myself.

    I think I fall into that category of people who care about privacy but then contradict themselves with their behavior. From the personal to more organizational, this report on cyber hackers was on NPR today. http://www.npr.org/2011/06/06/137000302/latest-hacks-could-set-the-stage-for-cyberwar

    Um, I can't think of a more bone-chilling phrase than "cyberwar."

    Steig Larsson made hacking look pretty cool. But it's interesting to think about how much is possible in the hacking world that we tend to forget about since our everyday use of technology has been so woven into our routines. Just saw this article and I found interesting to see the many sides of hacking: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/jun/06/hackers-how-and-why-they-hack I always make fun of my dad for being a computer hypochondriac -- he always thinks that someone is hacking into his computer, so he has a million anti-virus and security programs (a combination which I think is actually destroying his computer). But it is a valid concern, though I think you have to just find a balance for your privacy since in extreme cases, your privacy can be a bit restricting.

    Zizi Papacharissi is a professor and head of the communications department at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has written a lot of really interesting stuff on social media and internet culture that she links to on the "research" page of her website. I've come across her stuff before and I think she's pretty cool!

    It seems to be that Indiana University is a top school for social informatics research. Any others out there that we should be looking at in particular?

    I went on Social-informatics.org which gives a list of study programs around the country and world.

    Mary had mentioned "Smart Communities" in one of the class discussions, which brought to mind this very cool teen website that I discovered last semester, called YouMedia, designed to support and develop media literacy skills......
