Tuesday, February 20, 2007. QotW5: Excuse me, is that ME? Identity plays a key role in virtual communities. In communication, which is the primary activity, knowing the identity of those with whom you communicate is essential for understanding and evaluating an interaction. Yet in the disembodied world of the virtual community, identity is also ambiguous. (Donath, 1996). Ambiguity is the key in online identities. To illustrate, I am known as wideeyedmuse in Il Divo's Online Forum. Others actually approac...

http://bixqot.blogspot.com/2007/03/qotw9-citizen-journalism.html
It's For A Class Lar. Saturday, March 31, 2007. In his book, We the Media, writer and journalist, Dan Gillmor (2004) iterates the fact that readers know more than journalists themselves.

Stomp was set up by the Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) in an effort to stay relevant to a new generation (Chua and Reh, 2006). The nat...

It's For A Class Lar. Saturday, March 24, 2007. QotW8: Democracy The Internet Allows. It is mentioned in Kalathil and Boas’ (2001) study of the Internet in authoritarian regimes that the international community has long considered Singapore as a semi authoritarian state. Over the years, the Internet has without a doubt, helped China to achieve a freer state of existence for its citizens although the Chinese government still holds an iron grip as Kalathil and Boas demonstrate. Rebecca MacKinnon attested t...

Yo Yo Ma: QotW7: Online Communities
http://bixqot.blogspot.com/2007/03/qotw7.html
It's For A Class Lar. Saturday, March 17, 2007. Tweety, twatter, twitter, is it a community or something other? What we do know is that it is yet another social networking service the Internet has to offer.

Yo Yo Ma: Bonus Mission #2: Not a Game
http://bixqot.blogspot.com/2007/04/bonus-mission-2-not-game.html
It's For A Class Lar. Saturday, April 7, 2007. Bonus Mission #2: Not a Game. I have a confession to make –Second Life did not interest me in the least bit initially. I would have never known about its existence if I did not have to take the COM125 class. Actually, that in itself is a lie. I did know about Second Life before I took the COM125 class. In fact, I learnt about Second Life through a friend’s blog. Perhaps the sexual screen captures of Second Life she had posted in one entry. Real people are si...
