Live Blog 11/6/08

12:03 - continue conversation on Juicy campus? small groups? i dont know about you but it feels like we've had the conversation a million times about hateful facebook groups, emails etc. I might actually be alone in this though.

12:07 - in our little groups. it says a lot about out campus, especially b/c we're so small...everyone knows everyone else's business.

12:16 - not serious enough to have any authority step in. Just a site for "juicy" gossip.

12:28 - too ridiculous, nobody cares

12:31 - consensuses:
- low impact, individual choice, damage already done --> no response necessary.

- the majority of these people are those who want to be talked about, bring it on yourself (a lot of the time), largely for men, shouldnt have HWS input until there are actual threats --) no response

- dont legitimize it, the more you talk about it the bigger it gets.

- seriously guys, i dont care about this....we really need to move on

12:47 - technology in the election--> the hologram on CNN. make the election an interactive spectacle.

12:54 - Obama won b/c of his use of election. emails, social networking, texting, prizes, spurring supporters to take innitiative (bottom up). constant connection and updates.

12:59 - intensity of engagement + feeling of involvement = ?? "in new media you have to believe that it matters."

1:02 - did we help make history? did our generation acutally change anything? did we change the election?

1:11 - sarah palin and tina fey...decreased her credibilty (wait, did she have any to begin w/ ?)

1:18 - bottom up adivertising, "citizen journalism", obama's campaign really utilitzed this

1:19 - metaphor... conceptualize the multiple kinds of media we've seen in the campaigns

Thanks for the live class feed. Looks almost like a twitter convo. This feed reminded me of a few points we had discussed that seemed to have slipped my mind when doing my own reflection. Particularly the bottom up process and CNN's hologram.
