A recent report on "The State of News Media" says that journalism is now a service, not a product. It's an interesting story.

Here is the link to the blog posting I read in class about transparency..wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2008/03/securitymatters_0306

And there's also a story out about legislation in Kentucky banning anonymous postings. Phil? Ahran? Is this a trend or will it die a thousand deaths?http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/10/1623245&from=rsshttp://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/10/1623245&from=rss

Wikipedia

kbshee — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:44:41 CDT

Hey! Some good Wikipedia news! Slash dot reports that a scientific journal, which currently prohibits its authors from publishing on Wikipedia, are considering reversing that ban.

Slash Dot Wikipedia article

It isn't a great week for Wikipedia. An Australian newspaper is that Wikipedia founder traded donations for entries.
Read all about it: SMH wiki story
Slashdot has a posting that links to an article about Wikipedia in The Economist.
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/10/0057210&from=rss

It discusses different options that Wikipedia could consider, which may or may not fundamentally change the nature of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is in a continual struggle to make ends meet despite its popularity. The Wikimedia Foundation is considering several fundraising campaigns, including the sale of Wikipedia T-shirts and a Wikipedia board game. The idea of selling advertising space has generated considerable discussion among Wikipedia fans. A March 10, 2008 article in the LA Times looks at Wikipedia's financial options.

MySpace

kbshee — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:24:42 CDT

Here's an article from Wired on how filmmakers are searching for talent on MySpace (and hey, I thought 'talent' and 'MySpace' were oxymorons!)

Blogs and Blogging

kbshee — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:11:05 CDT

Heavy Bloggers (no, not fat ones, those who blog a lot) tend to also be heavy users of news and entertainment sites. I guess they need to find something to blog about!

Corporate Blogs

Here's an article from the NYT on Wal Mart's corporate blog:
NYT: Wal Mart Blog

And, if you dare, here is a link to the Check OUt blog. I had to roll my eyes at some of the postings (announcements of the Easter Bunny appearance, for one thing) but maybe I just need to spend a bit more time there.

I just ordered this book (Here Comes Everybody) from Amazon, maybe Joy and I will read it as part of our Readings class in Spring. I'm sure Leona will be all over it.

Facebook

kbshee — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:42:03 CDT

Facebook can't seem to catch a break these days. HEre is a recent blog posting on Facebook and Privacy.

http://www.socialmedia.biz/2008/03/facebook-and-th.htmlhttp://www.socialmedia.biz/2008/03/facebook-and-th.html

I just posted another link on the Linked In page that asks whether Facebook is better than Linked In for business.

Linked IN

kbshee — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:41:30 CDT

OK. I have an account on Linked In and while I love being able to see who is connected to who, I'm really not sure how to use it (and if it is really usable, especially for free).

Here is a link to a posting on the Wired Wiki on how to get ahead on Linked In.
http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Get_Ahead_on_LinkedIn

What do you think? Is it a good thing? Is this where our students will go when they grow up?

Here's another link, because we love a good smackdown. This one discusses which is better for business: Linked In or Facebook.
