so dudes, week five is upon us and in the in-class this week was to find your favourite site and present it to the class. i came up with three, cause i’m industrial like that 
Website #1 – Ted Tap’s Blog
“a celebration of brain gushings and nonsense” this is the one i used in class, i said it was pretty conventional in its set up, service and functionality. it is a fictional blog written by a friend of mine who attends UTS. as far as i understand it is a similar assignment as ours, a weekly blog, however his has to be fictional. it is web2.0 with user generated content, part of an online community etc. i like reading it because his imagination is insane and i love the idea of a guy who lives on top of a mountain by himself keeping a blog. it makes a nice change to reading another communications traditions lecture.
Website #2 – Adbusters
A culture jamming network site. this is the web version of the ‘real world’ magazine. it features articles, ABTV and counter hegemonic thought on popular culture. i subscribe to the rss for this site. the articles are informative and sometimes funny. it is not user generated, it is pretty much a visit and read site. i think it is very easy to use, clear to understand and the language is conducive to someone who likes to read anti-pop-culture stuff every now and then.
Website #3 – jess_with_spaghetti
this is my flickr site. I LOVE FLICKR. i am not a great photographer, but i do take a TONNE of photos, and i find flickr is a brilliant way to get my better stuff out there. for someone intent on selling their work i could see how flickr could be a big help, but as an amatuer, its great to be part of a network of photographers and have others leave me critiques on my stuff.
anyway, stay tuned for this weeks music video
peace love and juiceboxes
xx
