Defining feminism and destroying the joint (recovered)
Helen Razer has written a post on how she thinks that Destroying the Joint may be in danger of destroying the point. I agree with some of what she says. Kings Tribune has an opposing view here. I agree with what Jane Gilmore has to say as well.

I’d appreciate some feedback and especially additional tips and tricks that I have overlooked in my latest #FF101 post | Cyberbullies 101: Part 1 – muffling their megaphones
Moral panic stifles useful dialogue on social media “trolling”
From work I’ve been doing for a forthcoming book on new media and Australian politics, I have some useful data that may partially inform this discussion in the form of Facebook wallposts from 600 Australians collected before this recent debate took off (late 2011). In recent days I’ve reanalysed this dataset to shed some light on the treatment of women in the social media space.
Gotta Love The Internet: Eastwooding with an Empty Chair
Oh Internet, my birthday was days ago now – you really shouldn’t have! So Much #emptychair, #eastwooding and #invisibleobama on my feeds this morning!
Sunday writer: Jennifer Egan
I have chosen the Pulitzer-prize winning writer, Jennifer Egan for this Sunday because she has just published a short story/poem on Twitter and the writing is brilliant and the medium is perfect. As others have noted, it is kind of refreshing to see a big serious writer embrace Twitter, too: Some authors have a dismissive [...]

2010 Andrew Olle Media Lecture – Alan Rusbridger
Rusbridger examines the common comparison made between the digital publishing revolution and the Gutenberg press publishing revolution in terms of rewriting the landscape for the dissemination of information, analysis and opinion, and concludes that the digital publishing revolution is a far more profound change to our intellectual landscape because…
Dissecting the trivial
Quick fact about women in the news: apparently, women feature in only about a fifth of the world’s news headlines and just ten percent of all news stories. (My guess is that if you took celebrities out of the media monitoring survey you could probably halve that number again for how often women make the news).

WTF, YouTube? Documentaries about rape victims are not Unsafe Content
I don’t expect to be confronted with suggested videos with rape fetish titles in the sidebar when I go to look at a trailer for a documentary about rape victims. How the hell can your system not have been tweaked to prevent shit like this happening?
Lost in Meatspace
I haz no home internets :( My broadband cable services are down entirely – internet (and thus our VOIP home phone), and, even worse for one particular reason, cable telly.
