Hash, tagz, & buzzwords in Formally Informalness


Can you believe it's Thursday already? 

Check ^it^ out, pop a comment, tweet a girl, @ a friend, I wanna hear from you. 

As promised.

Hazily, I write... as promised and to stick to my schedule *as posted in Settling into web 2.0

Expertise & Crowd-sourcing is the topic for this week. Going based on titles, these are four articles that stood out to me:

Just to name a few. As far as our upcoming assignment goes... I'm considering exploring the malleability of online communities, and the 'ebb and flow' (if you will) of how the hive mind functions.

Hopefully, this isn't nearly as painful to read as it is posting. Still recovering, still trucking.

#ihavecovid19

In my half-hearted attempt to be functional on social media this week, I infinitely (felt like it, until I passed out in a sweaty-chill stupor, after 30 seconds max) scrolled TikTok and Facebook, looking for survival testimonies of the notorious COVID-19. The pride of not having caught it since lockdown in March 2020-May 2022 is probably the err that caused my misstep of no longer wearing a mask... that and also, embracing the long-lost joy of giving hugs to friends again.

#hashtags really need to be curated. I was looking for useful information about people who had COVID and how they dealt with it and the media that comes up is really not nearly as helpful as it would be if, let's say the CDC (or the Lourve) OWNED a hashtag that posts could then be approved... #priornear, you heard it here first.

Peace out, until full recovery.

Ps. I put aside some really great readings for class this week about joining the blogosphere CoP, having an intentional online persona, and PLN formal/informal learning... but as I'm here posting while being out of my healthy mind, I must say, I like the idea of having a totally divided internet persona/alias separate from a physical world identity... preponderance to come.
