Social Networking in the news

BBC’s article on Google opening up Social Networking

Alternate Reality Gaming

This is an area that I think will be interesting for the MA, I’m just unraveling it at the moment.

Has anyone come across this yet (I’m not sure if it was mentioned in Judith’s 1st session on the history…)?

A simple interactve artifact

While perusing all things Halo at the moment I found this interactive artifact (I’m not claiming credit as a digital archaeologist, it was too easy to unearth). It’s simple but effective, based upon issue 15.09 of Wired magazine.

Is this the type of artifact people were thinking of creating for this first module? Is it too simple, are people going to create something much more ambitious?

I’d be interested in comments as I want to start thinking about what to create.

Decisions, Decisions

We need to decide how we incorporate our individual blogs into this group blog i.e. do we re-post the items or do we just post a link?

Another thing is the technical side of this blog, like this post. It’s not really a useful ‘interactive’ post, it’s just the mechanics – perhaps this should be discussed via an email thread rather than the blog?

Lastly, can everyone see/access the blog?  Post your individual blogs in the comments section below?
