Transforming energy since 1949.
Howard Rheingold’s written a good short piece for the Atlantic explaining why the WELL is historically important, and how the WELL exemplified online community (and was probably the first). He also mentions the WELL’s importance in influencing the evolution of the World wide Web of today, something I suggested in an earlier post.
Here’s Howard talking about the WELL, also featuring John “Tex” Coate:
I was actively live tweeting the International Sympsium on Online Journalism when I hit Twitter’s limit of 1000 posts within 24 hours. (I’m finding it a little hard to believe I posted that much, but that’s what Twitter’s algorithm is saying, I suppose).
I’ll do some live blogging here instead, offering this brief post by way of explanation – if you find this interesting, see the @https://weblogsky.com posts for #isoj and #isoj12. I’ll look for a chance to storify some of those tweets later.
