looking for feature article-like readings about twitter and yelp
hello! this spring i'm teaching a class called digital media production. it's a production class which means students will be required to learn about and to learn to use various digital media tools. throughout the semester, we'll cover facebook, flickr, blogs, twitter, google maps, online video, yelp, zotero, google docs, and wikipedia. the course readings come more from popular magazines than academic articles or books. for example, to better understand facebook and flickr, we are reading clive thompson's "brave new world of digital intimacy" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/magazine/07awareness-t.html ) from new york times magazine. to learn about blogs, we'll read emily gould's "exposed" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/magazine/25internet-t.html?_r=1 ) from new york times magazine and andrew sullivan's "why i blog" ( http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/print/200811/andrew-sullivan-why-i-blog ) from the atlantic. to help us understand wikipedia, we'll be reading stacy schiff's "know it all: can wikipedia conquer expertise?" ( http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/07/31/060731fa_fact ) from the new yorker and marshall poe's "the hive" ( http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200609/wikipedia ) from the atlantic. question: can anyone suggest any other feature articles from similar sources that explore twitter or yelp? david silver http://silverinsf.blogspot.com
