Here is my video, it's pretty silly (some silly differences between the US and Spain) and way too long, so don't need to watch it all! I took it before knowing the final duration, and I had such a hard time that I did not want to shoot it again...

Flipboard and the role of Twitter
A follow-up about that Flipboard product we looked at in class a few weeks ago from the New York Times. Take note of how Twitter and social media play a role with the rollout of a product. This is equally true with regard to rolling out content which is something we'll talk about this week in class.

James Surowiecki: When social media became news
You might have already seen this talk (it's from 2005), but just in case... I think it complements the discussions we had the firsts days of class about communications and new media. The speaker focuses on blogs, bringing up a point that I think we missed, and it's a phenomenon that I find pretty interesting: how networks and collective thinking shape the individual thinking, which at the same time determines the collective thinking... a bit of a loop =) Well, it could be summarized in: collective intelligence, and let's say "collective dumbness".
(During approximately the first 5 minutes he basically talks about the tsunami of 2004 in Indonesia)
