Highlights from classmates Blogs V1.1

This is (hopefully) going to be a regular link list to the interesting commentary from other classmates in the unit. Enjoy - and go and comment on the stuff you agree, disagree, think about!

Obake, Virtuosity, talks about Sims 2 and the communities that build around it, here. Good commentary and links.

Virtualamanda writes about different kinds of blogs here. She links to some academic blogs and to a directory about academic blogs. She also asks whether 'we all live in a virtual culture?' here.

Dan, VirtucommBlog, asks whether blogging is taking off all of a sudden or if we're just noticing it now here and talks about a blog he's using to work on a project in another unit.

Cheryl in Manifested Musings talks about mp3 downloading in relation to this weeks lecture on 'Walled Gardens' here. Good commentary and interesting points.

Luke in studio316 writes about whether Sony provides the community or whether the members of the community make the community here. Interesting discussion.

Nascent has some interesting political points which show a different way of blogging.
