Hi Burcu, I was just wading through the links for #ganergate for a post <http://feed.wiobyrne.com/2014/results-from-pew-internet-research-on-trends-in-online-harassment> on the Pew Research results that came out yesterday. What I found most fascinating from all of the links is the Wikipedia page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_controversy>, and the Talk page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gamergate_controversy#.23> for the #gamergate controversy. I think there are more concise overviews, and the Twitter feed is intense. However, I think that the Wikipedia discussion forces people over time to sit, think, and respond to each other...for better or worse. :) Thankfully they're regularly archiving everything in the discussions. I'm thinking about teaming up with some colleagues to look at gender, discourse, and CMC in this space. If anyone else is interested in joining in...please let me know off-list. -Ian _________________________ W.

Hi all, I've been asked to give a brief presentation on the #gamergate scandal that erupted last month. I casually read up on it but I want to be a bit more thorough as you can imagine. I was wondering if you would share some of the links you may have come across.
Kind regards.
