Quiver & Quill

A few members of blog group are members of the Live Journal community. It’s surprising to me that Live Journal has active communities all around the country that are relatively under the radar. The Davis Square Live Journal  was offered as a particularly good example of an active community. If you don’t already know about it, check it out.
•    Jesse talked about a website for Oberlin college students called the Confessional. It’s a faceless, nameless meeting of the “hive mind,” to discuss everything from homework to hooking up. Imagine going to a school where everyone logged onto the same website just to read secrets about you. Intense.

•    A few quotes from this week’s blog group:
•     “I don’t like people who have the same Facebook status as their twitter
•    “Take the time to copy and paste. This automatic importing is just spam!”
•    “it’s harder and harder to have different worlds now. Work world. Social world. They all collide”
•    “If I’m thinking about posting a link, and It’s not really timely, I wait a couple of days.”

Cool terms:

•    Being observable human online - Lisa Williams

•    Radical Transparency - Wired Mag
