Tuesday, June 19, 2007 Using FaceBook Im trying to expand my horizons a bit these days and have been taking a closer look at a whole bunch of tools out there, including SecondLife and FaceBook. There was a great NYTimes article a few weeks ago about a mom signing up for a FaceBook account, completely appalling her teenage daughter.

Ive been exploring the use of Second Life for a client for whom Im developing an e-Learning strategy.

Mark Oehlerts response to Tom Crawford on the Kindle reminded me of a New Yorker article from last month, in which Anthony Grafton concludes that paper books are an anthropological record of their times and of the people reading it. Great post, Cammy and Im completely with you on loving the physical feel of a good book.

Im concerned that women will be excluded if such a focus is put on gaming skills -- or at least the gamer label. Im just raising some questions.

That said, Im a little concerned that the gamer mentality is sometimes presented as important to corporate culture and that as a result women should get into gaming.

Why not license this work under Creative Commons ? Or Open Access Journals ? Im sorry but to my simple country mind the choice is clear.more, more, more or less, less,less.
