Who cares? I just want to be plugged to the world.

Here're some media that I use everyday:
- Twitter - Twitter is a combination of innumerable fragmented pieces of people's lives.
- Facebook - The key reason why I try so hard to climb over the Great Fire Wall standing between mainland China and the outside world: to get on Facebook.
- Weibo & Fanfou - two microblogs based in mainland China, equivalent to twitter, yet with more Chinese characteristics.
- Douban - a useful website to find people who share common interests with you in books, music and movies.
What do I want to learn in this course? Hmmmm...I am so used to writing in new media. In fact, I write a lot via new media. But the things I write are mostly fragmented, incoherent pieces. This course is a good opportunity to force myself to write something logical, coherent, complete, making the most of the fabulous new media tools we have in today's digital era.
You really do have an active digital life! I hope you meet the goals that you have set for yourself!

A pity, it's a nice picture!
I see. I've changed the picture. Hopefully this one is ok. Thank you for your comment Mr.Hafner!
ReplyDeleteWell done - it seems that that user has made their photos available under a commercial commons licence so that's much better!
