He referred to this lost knowledge as “informational capital.” In plain English, it means that trust vanished. katiebda Fri, 03 Oct 2008 20:21:16 +0000 september08 trust http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=3327&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en Residents of Westchester, the neighborhood surrounding Loyola Marymount University, in Los Angeles, say microblogging services like Twitter are not only allowing students to find out where their classmates are partying, but also when the gatherings are about to be shut down by the police. katiebda Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:45:35 +0000 september08 dm2 participation story http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/11/fashion/11talk.html?ei=5070 The term researchers use is “co-rumination” to describe frequently or obsessively discussing the same problem. The behavior is typical among teens — Why didn’t he call? Should I break up with him? And, psychologists say, it has intensified significantly with e-mail, text messaging, instant messaging and Facebook. And in certain cases it can spin into a potentially contagious and unhealthy emotional angst, experts say. katiebda Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:42:51 +0000 september08 kdqpp research http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/02/juicycampus-expands-its-libelous-gossip-machine/ JuicyCampus, the controversial site that lets students post totally anonymous (and often malicious) comments about their college classmates, has launched a new version of its site and opened support to over 185 new campuses, with 500 expected by the end of the month.

I do not mean that it may be lost from the Internet but, that we may lose the ability to interpret it. Even if we have skirted this problem in the past by rendering info into printed form or microfilm the complexity of digital objects is increasing so it won't be adequate simply to print information. katiebda Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:36:01 +0000 august08 commentary http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/arts/television/17kaku.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2 When Americans were asked in a 2007 poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press to name the journalist they most admired, Mr. Stewart, the fake news anchor, came in at No. 4, tied with the real news anchors Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw of NBC, Dan Rather of CBS and Anderson Cooper of CNN.
