Communities Explained

Filed under: News and developments, Research by Digado

From the creator of ‘The machine is us/ing us‘ comes ‘An anthropological introduction to YouTube’. A very interesting look into online communities, and what creates this online ‘bonding’. In a very visual presentation Dr. Michael Wesch explains the Library of Congress the need to rethink some of our fundamental aspects of life as the web gets increasingly more social and changes the way we interact as humans.

    Hello there! I found your blog today, and have added its rss feed to my Netvibes shortly after. Interesting posts! — I’m an archivist, exploring web 2.0 opportunities, virtual worlds, social software, and so on.

    Hello Christian! Thanks for noticing my blog and adding it to your RSS reader. I noticed you had a link to the Second Life Library on your blog - are you in some way connected to the library or just linked because of a shared interest?

    Oh and I’ve bookmarked you right back, I really liked the easy to read articles you put up on Google Lively, keep up the great work over on http://digitalearchivaris.blogspot.com/ !

    Thanks for linking back to my blog! :-)

    Yes, I’ve been connected to the SL library project. Well, I still am in some ways, though not that actively involved anymore as I was before, only through people I know well, and through my archivists group.

    I’ve done reference for a while (also my RL job, as a team leader), and have participated in various other projects, and groups. It’s an interesting project, in which many information professionals are involved. Anyway, read my blog on it — I wrote quite a bit on the project, and my thoughts about things.

    And thank you for commenting on the Google Lively posts.
