You get too much utility out of the older tools you use for these newer tools to be a worth while compliment.<BR/><BR/>You probably learned how to communicate with your friends about what's going on with you. Many of these people never have, but they can post the evidence of it online and other people figure out the bigger picture that that evidence paints. And the more you use it the better is gets because when one person leaves a comment about some of the evidence it often enhances the understanding that subsequent viewers can achieve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-88906103267877133222008-04-10T14:59:00.000-05:002008-04-10T14:59:00.000-05:00I'll add to the "glorified address book" idea.

These services are address books where entries are pointers instead of data. So then when information changes, it need only be updated in one place, and all the pointers remain unchanged.<BR/><BR/>From the above you can surely conclude that I am a web 1.0 guy too.David Pennockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369172924419106987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-89444584447079579292008-04-09T22:32:00.000-05:002008-04-09T22:32:00.000-05:00Neither do I understand why they become so famous....Neither do I understand why they become so famous. I'm like almost in all the social networks and have like some 500 friends but other than adding them to my network, I haven't really ended up doing anything else. But again, I keep thinking I should've been more social savvy to actually use these tools :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-45930639477478190022008-04-09T09:49:00.000-05:002008-04-09T09:49:00.000-05:00well I use facebook to keep in touch with people. ...well I use facebook to keep in touch with people.

Case in point, I still don't quite understand twitter!<BR/><BR/>As for facebook, though, that one is easy: it is a glorified address book. I login regularly to see any birthdays that are coming up and who has posted pictures of their recent trips.

I have tried them out, but never really got any kicks out of it. Whenever I try to interact in Hi5, Facebook, Whatever, I miss the actual physical presence, the non-verbal communication — smiling, touching, looking in the other person's eyes, waving my arms in enthusiasm, etc.<BR/><BR/>Even when discussing science, or other more rational subjects, I feel that this component plays some essential role.Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463033182343789250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-45908762037851429242008-04-07T07:49:00.000-05:002008-04-07T07:49:00.000-05:00If you do start a facebook group for your class, a...If you do start a facebook group for your class, all you have to do is invite the students to join (which you could do in class). If that's all you do, then they will probably take ownership of it and use it to communicate with each other about things they don't understand. You can also make announcements through it, post items (like interesting links if you find any), and all the other crap you can do with facebook. It's basically blackboard minus the dropbox. (and unlike blackboard, people might use it i guess?)<BR/><BR/>I've seen this sentiment echoed elsewhere, but it seems like the thing Facebook lets you do, is be nosy about your friends and acquaintances, which we all are anyway. Just in this case it's acceptable and anonymous.Jason M. Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396075067541286700noreply@blogger.com
