r10: Writing Digital Culture

Part of our work this semester has involved reading and discussing a set of writings about digital culture—including both Christopher Johnson’s Microstyle and the essays in Mark Bauerlein’s Digital Divide. For this assignment, I’d like you to add another text to this conversation, to bring what you see as a smart and useful piece on digital culture to our attention.

In practical terms, what this means is: Post a link to a piece—print, blog, video, audio, multimedia—on digital writing, online culture, or social media that you admire and that you think other people in this class would learn from. Write a paragraph or so about what you’d like us to  take away from this piece.

My naked self-interest in this assignment is to assemble an archive of comments on digital culture that won’t seem hopelessly outdated by Spring 2013. Help me!

Use r10 as your category and tag your post with abandon and imagination.
