Read/Write/Web reports on Rheingold's new project--the "Social Classroom." According to the story, it is "an open-source Drupal-based web service to teachers and students for the purpose of introducing social media into the classroom."
So, is this anything more that a Drupal distribution designed for learning and teaching? I think a lot of us who use Drupal-based sites already do that stuff. Perhaps I am missing something.

Introduction to the Subject Area
According to CNET, starting October 1, Comcast is capping your monthly usage to 250Gb a month. If anyone hears about a class action lawsuit against this, please let me know. I will gladly sign up.Not only do I have to pay $50 a month for mediocre service, but now they are going to tell me what "acceptable" uses of the web exist.
To all kairosnews-ers:
I'd like to offer an open content research-writing text that I have been putting online over the past few weeks. See if you have any use for any of it in your classes. It is a work in progress, and I am still working on the formatting of the chapters. If you like something that is not formatted the way you'd like, help yourself to it and modify the text as you wish.
The text is available at www.pz-writing.net/methods.
At the risk of being accused of shameless self-promotion, I thought I'd plug in my most recent co-edited (with Kirk St.Amant, of ECU) collection, The Handbook of Research on Virtual Workplaces and the New Nature of Business Practices.
Matt, I will admit that my cover and ever topic are not as cool as yours, but you have an essay on new media in this one, so you are partly responsible for it.
