E-Life, Week 5

This week we will be focusing on user-generated content.

Please watch the following videos:
Information Bombardment
An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube
Blogs vs. Wikis
Wikis in Plain English

And then, for Wednesday, answer the following questions on your blog:

1. What enables hatred as public performance? What other effects come from the combination of the same sources?
2. What is user-generated organization?
3. What is user-generated distribution?
4. What is user-generated commentary?
5. What is the purpose of media?
6. What is … and why do we care about … networked individualism?

By Wednesday, I will have sent you an invitation to become a collaborator on Wiki :)
