I really enjoyed listening to Jason Scott talk about his success as a Media 2.0 celebrity. Although I had never heard of him before I was very intrigued by his work and the way in which he has promoted it. I took a quick peek at his blog after class and it is clear the man is not at a shortage for words. His entry's are very verbose but I found them very well written and informative.
I plan to watch his videos and explore some of the media he has created. I was also excited to hear about /. a site I had no idea existed which he likened to an earlier version of reddit. Being that is where I spend the majority of my time online it is always good to hear about things that relate to it.
All in all a great class, lots of new information and stuff to look at. Good times.
Slashdot was a geek's paradise in the old days. A place where (mostly) guys (or as they say: news for nerds) talked about all manner of techie stuff: http://slashdot.org/
