And I tell my students that Ill give to any of the worthy causes they pour their hearts into, but they have to ask me in person (not on Facebook)! The reality is, we're all bombarded with digital messages and shares and likes and spam. Currently (on my lowly grad student budget), I only give money to one nonprofit org.

Spam, obscenity--they just aren't an issue at all. We get so much spam on MySpace, whereas on Flickr and Facebook and the blog we never get spam. We’d received a video PSA from Pratt students, and I proposed the contest. Even criticism has been very contructive. MySpace is, but Facebook isn’t.

the Exploratorium is a place high school/junior high students go on field trips and make snarky videos at their teachers' behest (source: YouTube ). I watched many entertaining shorts featuring students explaining exhibits to the beat of popular and illegally uploaded music. If I'm an engaged spectator in the groundswell--using Yelp!

Sure, Twitter is banal and trivial, full of self-promotion and outright spam. Students will acquire the tools needed to make their tweets glimmer with a complete lack of forethought, their Facebook updates ring with self-importance, and their blog entries shimmer with literary pithiness.
