Tracking Wikipedia

Ersinghaus — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 03:16:15 +0000

For those you wondering about relationships and how to build them, The Palo Alto Research Center has recently build software for tracking changes to Wikipedia pages called WikiDashboard, an incredibly useful service for researchers.

This, for example, is the search result for hypertext, which we were lamenting a few weeks ago. The page has changed a lot, updated by experts in the field.

At the dashboard site, you can track items in which you may be interested.

[NMP09] Readerly vs Writerly

Timmons — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:16:02 +0000

An interesting discussion began today in New Media Perspectives following our introduction to Barthes‘ ideas regarding the readerly and writerly.

This overview shifted to a discussion of hypertext with a reading of Richard Pryll’s Lies (a work from 1994 that still stands as a great introduction to the idea of hypertext.) This was followed by a more complex work (in terms of structure and visual design) entitled blindspot by Darcy Steinke.

Based on some of the discussions in class, here is a link to a hypertext that is a little different than what we have previously looked at: Six Sex Scenes by Adrienne Eisen.

We will continue our discussions on readerly, writerly, and hypertext on Wednesday.
