Two things to read:
A Wired article this morning.
Danah Boyd’s article on MySpace.
This morning in the NYTimes there’s an article that says Google is offering a service by which people will click through on their ads and be connected by voice to the seller. I saw awhile back that e-Bay is going to do something similar. That’s why they bought Skype. It all runs on voice over [...]
Last week Randy Moss circulated the link to a paper based on a speech by Dana Boyd to the AAAS about why kids are so nuts about MySpace. Communications technologies have created a whole new sensibility about what it means to have a social network, and young people are flocking to MySpace despite the fact [...]
I was recently on the BetterPhoto site and discovered that Jim Miotke has a digital photography podcast. Jim has paired this podcast with photo examples as an effective teaching device.

NetSquared’s Community Builder [...]
A columnist for the Guardian likened today’s Windows PCs to the Model T ford of the 1920s. PCs brought computing to the masses just as the Model T brought motoring. But the whole state of current IT is a funky mix of stuff that falls far from a great communication system. Well, at least we [...]
The news seems full of bits about the disruptive nature of new online technology this morning. From the NYTimes
The second-generation Internet technologies — combined with
earlier tools like the Web itself and e-mail — are drastically
reducing the cost of communicating, finding things and distributing and
receiving services online. That means a cost leveling that puts small
companies on [...]
Somewhere over the weekend I saw a comment (can’t find it now) that the new technologies of online media are dissolving the forces of our traditional institutions. That came to mind when reading an article on blogs and censorship in China this morning in the Washington Post.
With as many as 16 million people in China [...]
