The Blogosphere


Here's a research project I conducted on the Blogosphere for my Corporate Strategy class. I published the "paper" as a Wiki because the adaptability of this format seemed appropriate. Check it out.

chris, where is the wiki paper (i love that idea and had considered using a wiki as a tool to have students publish work etc.)

ok, now can you explain why this paper is better using a wiki rather than the blog. i am not sure what functionality of the wiki you exploited ? (nice paper)

The main reason I chose to use the wiki format was so my professor could comment on my project (It's not exactly a paper) remotely without having to print out a hard copy. This was my first experience with this new medium so I probably didn't take advantage of all its functionality. In the future I see wikis propelling us closer to a paperless society as younger generations become more accustomed to reading documents off a computer screen. One of the really great things about wikis is the way they track changes to a document so the progression is visible. If you look you can see that i was up till the early morning hours finishing my paper ;)

ok, i need to spend some time on this to see how it can be used in a class setting. i am still unclear why you could not achieve what you did via your blog (blog entry and comments section).
