Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Wednesday, May 7, 2008. On my soapbox: Virtual Communities. April 19 2008 - the date that Facebook took over the #1 social network position from myspace. ( Alexa. I have a friend that said to me “ There are two kinds of people in this world: Those that live, and those that blog. People. Not those who claim to be my friend because we sat on the bus next to each other once and I will probably never speak to again. View (2008) of face book being evil, or Li and Bernoff’s. Http:/ ww...

Kate Scantleton - KCB201: Online "Anorex-Sick" Issues For Young Teens
http://kscantleton.blogspot.com/2008/04/online-anorex-sick-issues-for-young.html
Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Monday, April 28, 2008. Online "Anorex-Sick" Issues For Young Teens. The problem is, whereabouts is this convergence leading us? Is the creation of an open media plain where everything is a simple free-for-all really a good idea for everyone? Is it safe for the individual? My example of this are ‘thins-poration’ groups, young crowds of girls who get together to inspire one another to become anorexic and suffer depression one another. Many of these girls have take...These ‘...

Kate Scantleton - KCB201: Online Communities and the Individual
http://kscantleton.blogspot.com/2008/04/online-communities-and-individual.html
Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Online Communities and the Individual. There has always been a push for the individual to ‘belong’ to a community, especially a democratic one where there is some point of forum for the individual to have their say… if they wish. As mentioned in my blog regarding teenage anorexia, there are too many impressionable teens who are able to be misled into believing something very different to the truth. Such is the example of Megan Meier. Who was harassed c...

Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Produsage - what does it mean?

Kate Scantleton - KCB201: Something I Want to Share
http://kscantleton.blogspot.com/2008/04/something-i-want-to-share.html
Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Something I Want to Share. I would like to share a personal experience with you in regarding virtual cultures. My housemate is. to say the least a bit of a computer nerd. He tends to spend much of his time in what seems to be isolation, in his room with the door closed, enjoying the online realm in all it's glory. The question is - what were we missing out on before the creation of online communities? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a 21 year o...

http://kscantleton.blogspot.com/2008/05/convergence-centralisation-of-all-media.html
Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Friday, May 2, 2008. Convergence: The centralisation of all media. Convergence of media is becoming a much more commonplace activity. The differentiation between one type of media is hardening as media forms are beginning to transform to meet the needs of new technology and society. The increase of interchangeable content from one media form to another is just an ordinary, everyday occurrence. In looking at gaming, the internet has become a commonplace arena for tournaments to t...

Kate Scantleton - KCB201. Thursday, May 1, 2008. The Modern Downloader - A Perspective. After watching an episode of the IT Crowd on ABC2 last night (see YouTube clip below), and reading Emmy’s blog regarding the illegal downloading of music products. I have begun to contemplate other industries that have suffered due to the increasing effects of web 2.0. 2007) File sharing over web 2.0 is a serious problem. Obviously the most controversial topic of illegal downloading is music, but as this topic has bee...
