"It will be the fourth time the president has gone straight to the Internet to take questions from citizens after his State of the Union address. While critics of the influence of social media on the public square may bemoan the brevity of tweets, the anonymity of online commenting, or the "lowest-common-denominator" tendencies of the web's multitude of "most-viewed" lists -- done right, online conversations between people and their public officia |

public officials create a more open and transparent national conversation." -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-grove/obama-google-plus-hangout_b_2672215.html |

"Where the Hangouts platform is unique is that it brings together real people in real time in real conversations -- unbounded by the typical barriers (or cloaks) of online dialogue. These people are turning social media into human media." |

"Typically, the digital narrative of a story online unfolds in a series of asynchronous tweets, posts, comments -- or at best, a singular live video stream. These mediums have democratized public dialogue and allowed anyone to have their say -- but everyone is speaking in turn." |

"Compare that to a Hangout, where a group of people can have a live conversation in which anyone can chime in right during the discussion -- creating the same levels of spontaneity, personalization, and collaboration that are usually only possible in face to face conversations. The result is often a more honest and dynamic discussion." |

"Scientific journals are now impediments to the free flow of scientific information. However, as with so many things in the internet era, the old model is breaking down" -- http://scienceblogs.com/webeasties/2013/02/12/peerj-the-science-journal-we-need-and-deserve/ |

"In my idyllic world, every lab has their own blog, and publishes their results in real time, sharing them on a site like ResearchGate. Individual figures can be indexed on something like FigShare. Scientists can post their negative or confusing data and ask the entire world for help, or talk about their research plans and get critiqued." |

"Meanwhile, altmetrics are being generated in real time to asses the validity of data, and scientists peer review on their own blogs or at some central location. The distribution of scientific knowledge returns to the model of the 19th century – free and openly distributed – but now also instantly and globally distributed at the same time." -- http://scienceblogs.com/webeasties/2012/02/21/the-future-of-science-pub/ |

I kind of want to write my own blog post that says the same thing but that doesn't have any profanity in the URL :) |
