Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us
Alice shared this very nicely-done video that both explains and demonstrates the implications of Web 2.0 for text, form, content, identity, etc.
Par-tippy-tip
Look what Angela found for me!
Personally, I'm partial to the pink-snouted stare of disapproval from the Muppet version, but the partippy-tip is rather catchy!

Fanfiction to Mainstream
Colin, Michele, and Achariya-- who, unlike me, somehow manage to write lots of lovely pieces as well as stay abreast of current events and fashionable shoe and shrug choices <(.)(.)>-- shared fabulous news of the Chilean fanfiction author who is publishing her first novel. The 23 year old Chilean journalism student was contracted to write by Random House following the success of her online fanfiction story Harry Potter and the Decline of the High Elves. In an interview she says "All the things I know about literature, about writing, I learned in the fan fiction world." Read more... or listen to her story on YouTube.
