My current webtwitches…
A webtwitch is defined as: Our new-found need to immediately look something up online the moment it comes up in the context of our daily lives. (Source: Wired Geekipedia)
Because there is so much going on and I’m super busy these days this will be just a quick rundown of the top three things on my list of interesting happenings.
- First is the really neat mashup between Google and Twitter for Super Tuesday, go check it out.
- Second is the Microsoft, Yahoo!, Google exchange going on.
- Third are the Internet outages affecting India and the toll it’s taking on business there.
Here are two articles I’ve read recently that I found to be very interesting. First is Wired’s Students On How Social Networking Is Transforming Politics, second is a post that was made to Tera Nova on the governance of cyber worlds.
If you’ve seen anything else interesting as of late please pass it my way!

interesting, thanks for this info. webtwitch you say… reminds me very much of both Paul Virilio and Lyotard’s works on speed and information technologies. i guess it’s only one of the signs visible in pop culture that the nature of knowledge is changing, and that the Google generation will have a different approach to learning and education in general.
