Welcome!

Today, we blog!

Inspired by Howard Rheingold's chapter on participatory power, I thought we might use blogging as a kind of first hand, experiential, playground, application type exercise.

I'd like us to use these blogs from now through the end of the semester, to - as CJ and some others suggested with the digital identity project - give us more time, like, real time to develop this space and community, as it really does.

My suggestion to you, is to do some reading of blogs. What kind? Any. What's interesting to you? Go out there (well, here) to the Internets, and see what you develop.

Think about who you might like to be talking to - generally - knowing also that there are many other folks who may come across your blog that you can't imagine yet.

What do you want to talk about? Who else talks about these things? Where do they do it?

And also, set up your space - make it yours. Design it as you like, give it a title that's yours and yours alone.

PLAY WITH IT.
