Josie Fraser talked at the Learning Technologies Conference in January, and her blog is on our official blog roll (look left), yet unaccountably Josie’s blog has not yet been a BOTW. Time to put that right.
Actually, you have to be specific what you’re talking about, because Josie Fraser lives Social Networking and Web 2.0, so let’s be specific and say Josie’s Social Tech blog. If you really want to know where Josie’s at you need to follow her Twitter micro blogging at http://twitter.com/josiefraser.
The reason for adding the blog is simple: if you want to know about social networking, this is the place to start. It’s also the place to come back to. Given the importance of social networking, that makes it a crucial reference to be using.
Here’s what Josie’s been covering recently:
- Social Networking and Children – publication of new report for Childnet International
- Permissions granularity ABC - a vital look at how little we know about our data online and how it’s used (see also: The psychogeography of the Twitterstream)
- Facebook: Neo-con social experiment? - in which Josie examines in detail Tom Hodgkinson attack on Facebook from earlier in the year and finds it fails to stand up
That’s just three examples. What I particularly like about Josie’s blog is that although the entries are not necessarily frequent, they are always considered, well-written and full of stuff I didn’t know.
