Community

In relation to the previous post, and the response from the company, I think that is another aspect of our community conversation from earlier today (I'll post more on that conversation later). We must be aware that people can find and comment on our blog (since we have chosen to have it be public, not private. How does that influence our writing. Is it a bit violating that the company came in and posted, or is that a good addition to our conversation and project. The idea of our voices blending with these other voices really connects with our discussion at the library today.

Wow. So I was a bit confused by your post until I saw that clustrmap had contacted us. I feel so violated. Nah. This is a public forum. I think the spooky factor comes into play with how that company tracks blogs and global positioning...Big Brother?

Exactly what I mean. The surveillance feels a bit like invasion of privacy, but at the same time, we are inviting those people into the conversation when we post and we are in some ways allowing them to track us. Interesting.
