Catching up, here are some links I'd like to look closer at soon:

The Edublog Awards, hosted by the Insub Association is completed. Best paper about weblogs was Bridging the Gap: A Genre Analysis of Weblogs. Looks worth a read. Jill was on the list too!

One of the things, I missed out on while ill, was a guest lecture given at ITU by Steve Outing of the Poynter Institutem, talking about their Eyetrack III study , looking at how people read on the web. Always useful for when teaching students communication on the net - and those of my students who went to the lecture really liked it. However, some of them were even more exited by Information Architect Christina Wodtke who spoke immediately after Steve Outing, apparently she put on quite a show. At least, I can read her Elegant Weblog to keep up to date.

Student Thomas, who is one of three very dedicated students from the SMMOG project, currently writing up their thesis about the process of creating a massive multiplayer game world, send me this link: A review of the MMOG "Real Life". He also drew my attention to a new book by Raph Koster, MMOG Designer, out very soon: A Theory of Fun for Game Design. Thanks, Thomas!

And something completely different. Via Tinka, who has now moved her weblog to a "secret" site (hence, no link): an interesting example of an ironic, Mary Sue inspired Harry Potter Fan Fiction Comic.
