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.
