Short Blog #7
I began this project with hopes of trailing slightly away from researching only within Facebook and, thus, started searching profiles through Twitter. Upon Twitter, longtime followers and advocates can be traced more easily than within Facebook communities, as people post, reply, or retweet statements, publications, features, and networks within their short and concise, 140 character …

Short Blog #5: Feed Them to the Wolves
Short Blog #5: Woolf, Wolf, and more Feminism 1. Blogging Woolf: Virginia Woolf may have stolen my heart in a lesbian-continuum sort of way. She is the modern Sappho, and her diaphanous language is unrelentingly inspiring. A fellow WordPress site, Blogging Woolf is a wonderful blog that unites Woolf fanatics from the UK to the …
Short Blog #4: The Literary Blog Analysis

As with the post-modernist ideal of art, can we not claim that many visual artists are essentially creating prose within their visual projects? Can we not argue that Scott Schuman’s http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ is a site full of prose-based sartorial …
Short Blog: Digital Poet Caterina Davinio
In researching digital poetics for this assignment, I found some interesting work by Italian poet Caterina Davinio that shows the different approaches to digital poetry and media. Though Davinio’s style of art isn’t exactly my taste, the first video shows the multitude of layers that a piece of work can embody. Assuming that digital poetry …
Short Blog #1: Interacting With the Digital Community: An Internet Nihilist’s Nightmare
As much as I hate to admit it, I am a creature of extreme habituality and fear change like the apocalypse. I know that the Internet is a signifier of modernity and synonymous with “the future”; I know that smart-phones are our future, and that they predict that we will all carry some sort of …
