“欲望是作為生命的重生而存在於每一個人的內心深處。它顯然不是占有或竊據，而是尋求自由的解放，尋求對他者的關懷，尋求靈魂傷口的治癒，尋求對民族中心與國家神話的棄絕，尋求在殘酷的黑暗世界中留下一盞指引自己逃離的燈火。”

From Rebecca’s Technojournalism:

“The South Korean citizen-journalism online newspaper OhMyNews is considered a model of participatory journalism. By raising political awareness and mobilizing young voters it played a key role in the election of South Korea’s current president Roh Moo-hyun. The news and opinion on OhMyNews has always been clearly partisan in its support of Roh’s Uri party. The support turns out to be a two-way street. In an article titled OhMyNews Rolling in Gov’t Contracts, the South Korean Chosun Ilbo reports that OhMyNews gets the bulk of government contracts for advertising on online news websites. (This finding is the result of a study conducted by the opposition party, of course.)

OhMyNews founder Oh Yeon-ho recently wrote a book titled “Every Citizen is a Reporter.” It is yet to be published in English but excerpts are available on the web. Chris Schroeder recently profiled Mr. Oh for Newsweek. “

“What makes one blog more valuable than another?” This is the question on this blogpost. The author had some thoughtful points to say.

Paul just had this on E-Media TIDBITS: “Weblogs again are playing a central role in a major story — this time the uproar over the veracity of old memos cited in a “60 Minutes” report questioning President Bush’s National Guard record.

But this go-around shows how the blogosphere may be maturing from a medium characterized by just commentary and the usual anti-media hyperventilation to one where reporting skills are also taking center stage.”

在网络中，零和绝不可能是游戏的全部，在对手的惨败之上亦难有真正的“胜利”。

合气，则“不争”。

This is Howard’s post on Thefeature. He did an exercise to “apply Postman’s “Ten Principles of Technology” (from The End of Education) as probes into this complex storm of forces most people in the world find ourselves experiencing in our daily lives.”

Ross wrote on his blog:

Brian Lamb has a great article on wikis in academia in EDUCAUSE Review. I didn’t interview for the piece (would have shared how academic communities in Stanford [our very first customer], Berkeley, USC and others are using Socialtext with our discounted academic and non-profit pricing), but Brian more than did his homework and sources from some of the better posts at Many-to-Many by Clay, Liz and myself. He even ends the piece with this:
