  • danah boyd on seeing things differently


    trendpreneurAuthority Authority: 121
    I’m trying to catch up on the notable talks of LeWeb — so far I haven’t seen anything revolutionary come out of it, but a few interesting things, so it’s hard to figure out what to watch (especially since my attention span for online video is absolutely terrible; I prefer transcripts 90% of the time). ...

  • The Tweet, the search, the hashtag and the backchannel


    Lucacept - intercepting the WebAuthority Authority: 415
    My relationship with Twitter is evolving. It’s maturing into an incredible networking and search tool. (Or maybe it’s always been that, and I am the one maturing!)

A couple of reasons dictated this decision. Firstly, I was getting cranky with how conference companies ...

    Antonio GouldAuthority Authority: 91
    (Pic by Uwe Hermann ) Danah Boyd: In a harsh, competitive media landscape, people will often consume content that is most stimulating, and that triggers a strong reaction, rather than that which is best or most informative.

  • Twethics & Twetiquette?


    Collaborative SocietyAuthority Authority: 106
