In preparation for the last two weeks of class, all students are required to post a link to an article or project that focuses on some aspect of social media that they would like to present to the class for debate.
The article or project can address or use any of the technologies we have spoken about (twitter, facebook, YouTube, etc) but needs to foreground an issue that is up for debate (such as privacy, intellectual property, etc).
Please paste the link to the article as a comment and include a statement of why you posted this article and what you think the key issues are for debate. You will be responsible for presenting the article and issues in class.

May 4 -- Debrief and Preparation for Discussion #2 with John Scott Railton
We will debrief about the "voices" projects and prepare for our next meeting with John (May 11). In preparation for class on Wednesday, I would like for you to read an article called "Documenting Conflict in Misurata, Libya Using High-Resolution Satellite Imagery," which utilizes geo-spatial technologies and social media feeds, particularly the twitter Feb17Voices project. How does this scholarly article use the tweets and audio interviews with people on the ground as evidence, documentation, and primary source material?
Also: I would like you to read as many tweets as possible from the Feb17voices project. Please post and comment on several tweets that you find particularly significant in documenting part of the history of the violence in Libya.
