I have heard similar things about Rosenberg's book, so i will definitely go with Jill's. I have requested an exam copy of your book and I hope it will get here in time because if I don't use it in the grad class, I think parts of it will work in my undergrad course where we use the Flip Video cameras and talk quite a bit about YouTube.

Yes, back in April when Facebook changed their TOS I decided that I had had enough. In the end it came down to the question of whether or not I trusted Zuckerberg with all of my information and data. I decided that I didn't. Also, I found Twitter to be a much more engaging space for me in terms of making contacts, discussing ideas about teaching and research, and meeting new people in the field. It has really broadened my community of people out there who are interested in the intersections of new media, teaching, and research. I still have a Facebook account for teaching purposes and I pop in every now and again. But, I don't add much information and I removed all but my profile pic. Hey Vim.

There is some great history, but I wish he had done a little more with it. I found Jill's book to be really useful though and enjoyed teaching a chapter of it in my grad course.

Not that I don't want you to encourage students to buy my book. But this is a great list & gives me even more to read in the next few months.

(As you probably know, I have never been on it). Is it the new default privacy settings, or something else, if you don't mind my asking? Why are you off Facebook?
