Fall class prep/notes.

Re: the Fall 05 NEW MEDIA class.

The class will explore Second Life, where the basic subscription price is relatively low.

I am still exploring options for a more involved mmorpg demonstration.

MUDs are useful to engage historically, but are less telling of future trends and possibilities than are currently more popular (and, unfortunately, more expensive) graphic mmorpg’s.

We will also be making varied use of blogs and blog-related services, using Terra Nova and Bloglines as exemplars.   

Initial links.
