My Midterm Project

I have a limited understanding of how to use technologies, but a great appreciation for the work that we have seen in this class. With this said, I wanted to reach people who use the internet like I do, for social networking and maybe as self medication for some insecurities involving our selves, our images, and our peers. So I created a forum online in reflection of some of the topics I have been thinking about in regards to New Media. I have explained the purpose of this forum and created a few topics to post under as well. I sent an invitation to a lot of friends on facebook and here is the link for the class: http://footinyourmouth.11.forumer.com.

The social experiment starts tonight and will be on-going.

    your project, a forum where people can say things they never could in the real world, is thought provoking.
    i'd like to see what kind of submissions you get. i hope people will support each other on the forum, it's not good to live in the past. although, when people publicly admit awful things, like on the internet, i don't so much get the feeling that it's a confession. i feel like on some level they might be proud of it. the internet encourages exhibitionism.
    i thought it would be a good idea if you eliminated nicknames. i think everyone should have the same name. that way it would be harder for people to develop ANY kind of online persona.
    this is interesting, please let me sign up
