Hey Social Operating Systems (SOS) Group members!

We need to have all of the screennames of our group members so that we can communicate!
I thought that there was a good chance that a many few of us would see this blog more than a discussion in the group. Please read on.

We need to know what will be the most convenient way for us to communicate

My Sick Day

Alright well, today I missed school to go to the doctor to deal with some breathing problems that I've been troubled with and after that, I happened to see a copy of Wikinomics staring at me from behind a Barnes and Nobles window. It wasn't actually on display but someone had left a copy near the window. Anyway, I took it as a sign that I should take it upon myself to buy and read the book. After all, if I really didn't like it, I could always return it after I finished. Well, I started where I… Continue

Peering and Wiki Production

Hey everyone, I recently had an assignment to respond to a quote in this surprisingly interesting book called Wikinomics by Don Tappscott. First off, I'd love to recommend this book to anyone who is taking an ITGS class or just wants to know more about web 2.0 and more specifically the increasingly popular new wave of the future, the wiki.
The original response that I did is located here: BSGE ITGS blogContinue

The Power Of Nerds

As you may or may not know, Futurama, one of the best sci-fi comedies to ever grace the television screens of America, was canceled about three years ago. Thanks to online petitions, record DVD sales and the amount of attention that Futurama gets online (not to mention the success of another resurrected cartoon, Family Guy) Futurama is back on the air! There are four straight-to-DVD movies that will be coming out over the span of two to three years. There is also thirteen new episodes scheduled… Continue

In the event of the video sign up revelation i was unable to post an application for someone to sign up for my video. Because of this i in no way hold you to the previous obligation of my discussion i set up for a outsourced video.

Sincerely, Jamie C. from USA

P.S.
If you still would like to send the video i wont complain =p

Nyomi. It is great to embed your twitter. It is NOT ok to abbreviate profanity of any kind -- I'm not able to delete this from your page -- you need to put in another twitter to cover this one up. Be cognizant of the fact that this is public and that profanity -- whether spelled our or abbreviated is still profanity and not to be used on this project.

Sweet! My aim sn is: perfecten23. what's yours?
Definetely, i dont know everyone else's user names for that but the tag is "hz + socialos" and you can see a list of things our group has tagged.
Sounds good. I jsut made my username as perfecten23 so it should be easy enough to remember.
What are your usernames and is there any way/place to find out the usrnames of the other people in our group?

Hey Nyomi.
I noticed that some person named Euphoria left an ugly comment for you or your friend. He also sent me one and I was wondering if you had deleted the comment he sent you. Do you remember what he said, and have you told your teacher?
