How does the revised version of our class differ from the first version?
Um its alot more interesting but on the flipside alot less organized. I like having an organized class, and I kind of miss that because i like having due dates.
Which one do you prefer? Why?
Probably a mix of both would have been better. Due dates along with going to the incubator would be a nice way to conduct class.
What could be changed next time? Why?
I probably would add due dates to all essay, and assign more quizzes with an outline
What did you like/dislike about the Clark 111 classroom itself?
I didnt find anything i did not like, but at some points during the class i felt as if people were distracted.

Assessing assessments
1. I really would like another book one ontop of what i already have, i also need a scholarly journal, the journal might be kind of hard to find considering that twitter opinions etc change every couple of days. GO TO GALE LIBRARY....460m&m
2. I think i assessed most of them well, some im a little meh about, i want to find around 5 more sources just to be on the safe side for quotes considering this is an 8 page or so paper, and i think searching through blogs and business week and wired would be really helpful, and an interview with a new twitter user.

Resources reflections
1. pretty much google, i started very broad such as "twitter" or "social networking", then dove deeper into it and then became very narrow, i was planning to go to the library again and go find a better journal, or at least a good article and a better book article. Also i check the newspaper every week, i get wall street journal and San Jose Mercury News and they usually have a tech section with something about twitter or facebook. I did not use the library database which i really regret, but there is still time to go back and look for more. For a book i pretty much look for anything new, because a book that is sixth months old is not up to date.
2. It has been kind of hard to find quotes that really link to my thesis, i wanted my thesis to really be on who owns twitter info, and how safe is it, but most of the twitter stuff i find is why twitter is becoming popular, and what is the phenomenon all about.

Magazine assesment
The magazine and article i choose is from Wired, and the article is "How twitter creates a social sixth sense."
This article is very relevant, becuase it talks about why do twitter, and some issues with the online site which is very helpful with the thesis being developed.

Video Assesment
The video i chose was the interview between Biz stone, co-founder of twitter, and Stephen Colbert.
This interview is fairly simple, and colbert does poke fun, but it is very insightful into the idea behind twitter, and also brings up some interesting topics about twitter

Newspaper article
The newspaper article i choose was from april 13, and it talked about a program running in twitter that would promote another site.
The article is called "twitter tormented by nettlesome computer program." it is a decent nespaper, so it is credible. It would really help in discussing how easy it is to hack into twitter, and how private info is not really private.
