I am recruiting facebook users to participate in a 10-minute survey about facebook use after a friend or loved one has died. If you are over 18 years old and interested in participating, please visit: https://edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/553551/Digitial-life-after-death-An-examination-of-Facebook-and-mourning. Please repost!
I can't tell you all how much I love that I can watch things on the Internet.
Like last night's Glee. Or old episodes of Secret Life.
Especially UK basketball games.
I spent the first year here huddled in front of my computer listening to games on the internet radio. This was hard for me. We only get UK games if they are the national games, of course, as most IU people don't really care about UK games.
But now we can watch them online. And we have figured out how to hook up our computer to the TV so it's like we are watching them on the TV!
How did we ever live without the internet?!
For a class project my pedagogy class is working, we met with a man who does corporate communications for Google. In fact, he was one of the first 100 people hired by Google. Aside from having a big brain, the man was very nice and knowledgeable.
And he convinced me to join Twitter.
He talked over and over again about the impending importance of Twitter. I have been holding out. I had been reluctant to join.
I broke down. I figured, if I might need to know how to use it one day as a journalism professor, I better just get used to it now.
So I'm Twitter-ed. If you, feel free to follow me at staciemei
