Tell me something that I don't know

The Chris Matthews show is a syndicated TV show. One of the segments on it is "Tell Me Somthing that I Don't Know." Top news reporters from around the country tell chris their "scopes and predictions" about current or future events. Similiarly, TELL US something that we don't know about tecnology or cultural/social meia.

Keep in mind: this is more of a HOW TO that you demonstrate or present rather than then general news information.

Ideas: What does the # do? What is RT and why should I care? Useful freeware. Apps to use in school.

Not looking for: On Tuesday, there were slam poets here in the CC.

Due Thursday:
Read New New Media Preface & Chapter 1

EXERCISE 1: Your Online Identity. Log off everything. Do your best to figure out who you are online. Use search tools like google, facebook, myspace, etc… to see how exposed you are online by the average user. Write a one page report on your identity online listed how much of your profile is exposed, what type of content you have online (blogs, articles, projects, artwork, etc…), and what you know about you. Treat this as a third person POV project. This is due in one week.
