IM ing is very useful....If you have questions ask Krista online

Hey guys... this week has been pretty intense especially with the workload and responsibilities of twitter, facebook, delicious, flickr, pimping out your firefox browser, and especially our blog posts. I was feeling a little on edge about my topic, which is using flickr and downloading images of 35W bridge collapse under the creative common licenses. First of all I had never used flickr before, and I did not know how to search items under CC licensing. I posted a twitter to Krista and asked when she would be online because my schedule was too busy to see her in person. I chatted with her online and she walked me through step by step on how I could go about collecting images under CC licensing. She was incredibly helpful and it did not take me long to figure out what I was doing... the IM experience was well worth it. Krista's screen name is iamkristak in case you forgot. Don't be afraid to holler at her. She is here to help guys.

By the way.... the identity 2.0 presentation I linked on the group wiki page is below... if you haven't seen it now is your chance
Hilary, signing off!!!

If this doesn't work.... just type in Dick Hardt's Identity 2.0 presentation into google or firefox

Thanks for posting that link to the Web 2.0 presentation. I actually saw that last summer in the class I had with Krista on making presentations. It was great to see it again to watch it again from a different framework, Web 2.0. Now I actually have some idea what he's talking about in addition to appreciating his good presentation skills.

The presentation also surfaced the complex issues of identity, authority and trust in the context of the Internet. These issues all relate back to rhetoric and ethos. How do we know who and what to trust we encounter online? And vice versa, with the emergence of Web 2.0 applications, people can now more legitimately ask what's trustworthy about "official" sources of information given that they control access to their interior functioning? Hmmm.
