Fans Keep Big Bang Theory Forums Playful Despite...
Online forums can sometimes be very distant or impersonal, with members simply posting their own opinions without an expectation of response or conversation in return. The fan forums on the CBS television show, The Big Bang Theory, however, have created very personable and comfortable forums where fans can post their frustrations, but also be social and have some fun. Whether commenting on how...

Great presentation! Do you think the writers of “The Big Bang Theory” ever read the forums...
The Office Storify
dkirkhoff:
I like how your presentation focused on the different principles that make a successful social media site/community. Going through the principles and showing how the Office community satisfies each principle was a really engaging way to analyze the community. It made your presentation very focused and easy to follow!

Storify Presentation-DIS Boards
I thought it was really interesting how close the members became on the forums. The fact that they would plan events and get togethers via the blog was really intriguing to me. It shows how comfortable they are on the internet, being able to plan get togethers with people they met on the site. I also thought it was really fun that they do gift giving...
Sabermetrics Storify

I’ve never heard of sabermetrics before so I had no idea how big it was in the baseball industry. It was very interesting to learn about! One of the points in the presentation that stuck out to me was the idea of people testing the validity of their statistics or algorithms online. It’s interesting that they have blogs devoted to this idea.

I thought it was really cool how the groups tweet during the show and interact with their fans. It’s also fun how they use twitter to ask the fans questions and then allow them to answer during the show. It makes it that much more interactive. It seems like the show has taken huge advantage of using Twitter to involve its fans and promote the show.
Etsy Storify

I really liked the quote you shared in your presentation about Etsy being more than a marketplace, rather, a community. I was also really impressed by the website literacyhead.com that you shared. It’s really cool that the site uses art to help people learn to read, especially through its collaboration with Etsy. That’s awesome that the site asked to use your work. Beautiful picture!

The author of this article clearly has a negative view of Twitter. He does have some good points that I agree with.
I especially like “Nobody is listening, even fewer people care” and “It feels like a two-way connection but it’s not.”
I don’t…
The lack of conversation that you pointed out in Twitter is really interesting. I...
Can Twitter Ever Have Academic Value? →
Interesting article relevant to social media classes/studies. The article itself is a summary of a document created ”for academics wishing to use Twitter”, written by Amy Mollett, Danielle Moran and Patrick Dunleavy from The London School of Economics and Political Science. (The article links to the manual if you care to check it out.) In the article summary though, the author, Adi...
