Danha do you still use a microtac or do you believe that mobile social networks might be important considering that they account for 40% of worldwide mobile web traffic according to FierceMobile?

Thanks for blogging about the book danah. Your essay is a gem of an addition. Also, fyi, my editor told me at one point “maybe you should quote someone other than danah in the social networking chapter.” It was like a danah quote-a-thon prior to that editing round.

In answer to one of the questions above, some of the resources mentioned in the book are listed here: http://blog.mobilizingyouth.org/book-resources.html – they’re not polished in any sort of way, but maybe useful. I actually have thousands of links on basecamp that my research team collected for doing book research (should have used delicious) – when I can figure out a good way to transfer and annotate them, I’ll put a reference to them on the blog.

cheers,

Thanks for the recommendation. The book looks great. I read the first few pages, one of which talks about Amnesty International and use of their blog as a tool to encourage real action.

BlogCatalog has created Bloggers Unite, http://unite.blogcatalog.com which calls on bloggers to blog and act on a specified day about a particular social cause. On May 15th Bloggers are Uniting for Human Rights, an event that Amnesty International reached out to lend their support.

I can’t wait to read Mobilizing Generation 2.0 to get more insights into how to further engage bloggers to participate.

Thanks LS. Some very good stuff there. I added this to the links section on the wiki page for the May 22 Computers, Freedom, and Privacy workshop on activism and education using social networks. If any readers of this thread know of other good resources, please add them to the wiki!
