Most recently, I am in the process of revising the course material, responding both to student input and to my interests in the larger story of visual representation and the opportunities afforded by the database model. For the first two terms, I organized the course on a largely traditional chronological model, with design, fine art, writing, illustration filtered through my attempt to revisit the entire history of visual representation according to a design-dominant paradigm. I have now re-organized the course such that each lecture now encompasses both the historical and the contemporary, presenting a slice of the database pie; a story, in other words, that begins with a database sort of visual images.

Today there is a new kind of online community called Social Networking Models. When an online community is powered by a Social Software, the software is designed to place certain limitations on the users and how relationships are formed, particularly when two strangers make initial contact. The number one advantage of this is the users’ behavior is regulated because the software sets a limit on the amount of contact they have with each other, as opposed to the physical world where the boundaries of interpersonal communication and appropriate behavior lie on societal norms and etiquette, which can easily be broken.

Holy fuck, me too.

This paper aims to present information to the general public about Friendster as a widely accepted means of meeting people online through research and interviews of Friendster users based in the Philippines. It also intends to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this form of online interaction and the necessary precautions one should take. Finally it intends to clear the misgivings that online friendships cannot be as meaningful as face-to-face interactions because of the absence of intimacy or closeness.

There were and continue to be, several challenges to the development of this course, not least of them the electronic component. I developed this course as an independent, adjunct instructor in a matter of a few months, left largely to my own devices. There were cross-platform issues to deal with; the need to quickly design an application that would be easy to use and reliable; software distribution and assignment submission issues; and the electronic equivalent of paperwork in order to keep track of student progress, grading, etc. Nevertheless, students have responded to the course generally favourably. I was pleased upon reviewing course evaluations for the spring term that many students singled out the helpfulness of the meaning/value paradigm in increasing their understanding of the course material.

I wasn't, yesterday..

Who the fuck cares about you?

A Conversational Network is the most personal of all four because introductions are made through actual communication instead of just a profile or a list of interests. The medium of Conversational Networks are weblogs or blogs, which is a journal published on the Internet that contains a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life as well as the latest web trends. Blogs are updated regularly and can be maintained even by people with little technical knowledge through the use of a program or script. What happens is that a person read someone’s blog, and then gets a general idea of the author based on what he or she writes in the blog. One can even participate in someone’s blog by adding comments on their entries. Bloggers—those who own and write in blogs—have the choice to ignore their readers or reciprocate by reading and placing comments on the blogs of their readers. Then they can develop a more personal relationship through e-mails, chat, or an eyeball, a term used for people from the Internet who meet face-to-face for the first time.
