announcing "Operating Manual For Social Tools"
Posted by danah boyd
Oops! I just realized that i announced Operating Manual For Social Tools on my blog (with some commentary) but forgot to announce it here.
Stowe Boyd, David Weinberger and i are exploring critical issues to consider in the process of building social tools. This is a topically-driven blog that is sponsored by ZeroDegrees. We will be covering material relevant to the social tech space and this may be of interest for many of you.
For my own participation, i will be trying to write a new mini-essay at least once per week on the topic. I am trying to tease out salient points from my research and discuss them. If you’ve heard me talk too often, some of this will not be new to you, but you might enjoy it all the same.

Just as a matter of interest, why do we need another Corante blog on this? Seems like half the contributors are also members of Many to Many. And most of the posts I've seen (which look very good) would be perfectly at home here too.
It's "yet another site" to remember to go to :-( Can't you just consolidate?

The contexts surrounding these two blogs are quite separate, even if the content appears related. Sorry that this is confusing for you.

What do you mean by "context"? The sponsorship thing or do you see a real divergence in subject-matter between the two blogs?

Sponsorship, style of posts, length of posts, topic coverage (M2M covers a much broader range). In some sense, OM is a subset of M2M but they're not the same in terms of what we're posting and how i've been conceptualizing the two and so for my own sanity, it feels much more appropriate to separate them.
