Community – Synthesis Always Satisfies (or is it Snickers?)

Posted by Brandon - admin  Published in CI597C

Community, community, community. Even after four months of endlessly discussing this concept in not one but TWO classes (see also: IST 402H Community Informatics), and reading countless blog entries via Pligg, and even more blog entries from Twitter friends about the role of Twitter in community building, I am not sure how or where to [...]

Final Thought on Identity, thanks to Omarosa, Da Vinci, and TGIFridays

Posted by Brandon - admin  Published in CI597C

Wow! Four months ago, identity was just a word to me. When I used it, it was usually followed by “theft” or “crisis,” depending on context.

Tweet Talk 1

Posted by Brandon - admin  Published in CI597C, Podcasts

I know some people have already seen this link, but there are some subscribers (Hi Sean!) who don’t follow the entire course site. Here is the first podcast by my group, The Tweets.

Should a cop ever say to you “Sir (or Ma’am), please identify yourself…”

Posted by Brandon - admin  Published in CI597C
