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...

Songs of Apollo: QotW10: Meet Elsa Maertens
http://travisismyapollo.blogspot.com/2007/04/qotw10-meet-elsa-maertens.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2007. QotW10: Meet Elsa Maertens. I think I am not the only one having problem with Second Life. The system seems to lag everytime I log on. When I want to open it on my Macbook, I forget I don't have wireless connection. Dang! I managed to escape Orientation Island. Bless the souls of those who are still stuck there. I flew around aimlessly. Made some new friends. Mainly my real friends in my first life. That was corny. Everyone, meet Elsa Maertens. There was a conference held here a...

Songs of Apollo: April 2007
http://travisismyapollo.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2007. My friend, Michel. I just realised that the oldest blogger I know is 74 years old. He's probably one of the first few who was with me when I started blogging eons ago. Wow. That's amazing. It'll be cool if I get to visit him when I do reach France. Three years from now maybe. I tried. really. Wednesday, April 4, 2007. QotW10: Meet Elsa Maertens. Everyone, meet Elsa Maertens. It has a nice ring to it. Besides, I love Germany so it is kind of like a mini tribute. My current favouri...

Songs of Apollo: QotW6: Be Careful Kids!
http://travisismyapollo.blogspot.com/2007/03/qotw6-be-careful-kids.html
Saturday, March 10, 2007. QotW6: Be Careful Kids! Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to keep their lives and personal affairs out of public view, or to control the flow of information about themselves. (Privacy, 2007). How does one maintain privacy online? Perhaps revealing small amounts of personal information to strangers. Sometimes you are not even aware that you are revealing so much of yourself to others. The culture of revelation has enforced the need to expose oneself. Stuff On My Cat.

Saturday, March 24, 2007. For starters, Kway Teow Man wrote that he is neither pro- nor anti-Government. This, I find appealing since I myself choose not to align myself with any inclination towards any sides. It is nice to know that Kway Teow Man respect's the opinions of others and does acknowledge the presence of critics. I get the sense that he is non-judegemental. Blog’s Title: The Kway Teow Man.
