    This site is the best I've found so far in my search process. It provides tons of links to Social Informatics Highlights, Blogs, Associations, Sources, and Related Fields.

    There is a lot of information on this site and it is very helpful.

    i've come across this site before in an earlier iteration. I still am up in the air about the perspective and resources. I'll have to give it a more careful read.

    Many of the ideas that we are discussing are not so new and even predate the Internet. Marshall McLuhan made a name for himself dealing with these issues in the 1950's and 60's. Although some of his ideas have perhaps not proved true his basic concepts were on the money. From a CBC broadcast May 18, 1960.

    This is fantastic! Worth watching. I want to read up more on McLuhan's work. Which of McLuhan's works do you recommend?
  • Andrew Luck on 31 Jan 11
     
    My favorite is "The Mechanical Bride" - a great critique of new (at the time) electronic media, consumerism, marketing and how they could affect the way we perceive ourselves. "The Media is the Massage" is a fun and relatively quick read and covers many of McLuhan's key concepts.

    Aboujaoude thinks the Internet harms us, while McGonigal (as we have seen) thinks the opposite. "If Aboujaoude is the Internet's Hobbes, McGonigal is its Rousseau."

    Savvy techies are finding ways to circumvent politically motivated shutdowns of the internet. Dissidents get around government shutdowns of the Internet via range-extending antennae, satellites, microwave ovens' radio waves, short-range radio stations, and converting digital computer data to analogue radio signals and back to computer data again.

    Interesting talk- makes a good counter-argument to those who only see social media and the internet as disconnecting us or increasing depression. Like my best friend I can see clearly how the internet and having a 'voice' can be helpful :)

    I found a similar article from the UN sharing how cell phones and texting was used during a recent election in Kenya to limit riots and other unsafe activities. Though not used for either candidate the initiative did save lives and destruction of public areas by quickening the response times of police.

    The internet being cut off in Egypt is just unprecedented. What are people reading and what sources are they following? Here's an interesting article about how it was turned off: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/01/egypts-internet-blackout-unprecedented.html also, it's interesting how one small company is still providing service and how people with international calling plans can use foreign dial-up providers. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/01/despite-severed-connections-egyptians-get-back-online/70479/

    I think I plug this every year in a class, but it is a conference for library developers. Essentially the coders and hackers who represent those most likely to bring theory to production regarding many of the ideas that come out of Social Informatics. I've gone to 2007 to now and its very interesting on many levels.

    This is a NY Times article on how co-operative programs (like bike-sharing) are getting a boost from the spirit of collaboration on the web. The piece tries to trend spot "collaborative consumption", a "new" business model. We will have to see what happens.

    This article seems both scary and revealing. We knew racism was not really about race, but fear, power, and human nature. Now we have seemed to have backed our way into proving it.

    Y'know if the gamers assume that the female dwarves are Chinese players and they go out of their way to kill with added anti-Asian slurs that would be racist. But they are also female dwarfs. I guess these players can also express their misogynistic tendencies to boot. Nice.
