Eleanor Sandry (elsand)A good read from @pluralistic for #WebComms and #WritingOnTheWeb students (and others) on the topic of the Wikipedia in the main: https://pluralistic.net/2025/09/05/be-the-first-person/ not least for the link to Molly White on a useful and non-trivial way to contribute to the platform.
Raptitude (David Cain) on surfing the web in 2025: https://www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/ might be interesting in general and for #WebComms students
This might be good for people studying #WebComms, maybe #WritingOnTheWeb and #InternetStudies #DigitalSocialMedia more generally (@scroeser @perthinent @tama) https://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/advisory/bbcrd-projections-report-the-social-internet-jun25.pdf

My new online home doesn’t have the type of infrastructure discussed here, but I can see why it might be helpful and was clearly an important part of the past web #WebComms #WritingOnTheWeb https://thehistoryoftheweb.com/our-online-homes-need-infastructure/
Many people here know already, but in particular for #WebComms and #WritingOnTheWeb students… try an RSS reader! It’s how I read https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/ on the benefits of RSS. It’s how I read almost everything these days.
This is a great example of a #Wikipedia #Editathon for #WebComms students https://cybernetics.anu.edu.au/news/2024/10/08/8-Ways-We're-Celebrating-Ada-Lovelace-Day/
It's my last two lectures at Curtin next week. Ever. I have just guilted my select #WebComms audience from today into being there next week with the promise of robots... which means I need to get those robots working. I will also bring candy for anyone else who is interested and sees this post.
The blogosphere is blooming, #WebComms and #WritingOnTheWeb students: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/05/the-blogosphere-is-in-full-bloom-the-rest-of-the-internet-has-wilted-dave-winer
