But right now, it’s one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet. I also strongly disliked the radical self-revelation of Twitter. I wasn’t sure that it was good for my intimate circle to know so much about my daily rounds, or healthy for me to tell them. katiebda Fri, 27 Apr 2007 00:16:09 +0000 april07 twitter phenomena virtual communities quality identity kdqpp undecided http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/scholarlypublishing/ by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Pomona College trustteam Thu, 26 Apr 2007 06:32:50 +0000 april07 research kdqpp undecided http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mpepper/slbib katiebda Thu, 26 Apr 2007 06:24:51 +0000 april07 second life virtual communities fortrustteam undecided research http://www.gameology.org/node/1463 I'm always interested in videogames that claim to present complex, controversial, or spiritual ideas, so I was interested to read an article yesterday about a game sponsored by Thailand's Department of Religious Affairs that promotes Buddhism.

They're cobbled together out of pop culture, history, conversations & the ephemera of everyday life.
