***************************************************
ABSTRACT: Jerry Becker (2014) at http://bit.ly/1ikCCon forwarded Tom Whitby’s “What's In a Selfie?” http://bit.ly/1edkNEY to Math-Teach. The “social media” extolled by Whitby appear to be what are sometimes called “Web 2.0 Social Media” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0. It's not clear that they have big advantages over Listserves – see e.g.: “The value of email discussion lists” [Grow (2009)] at http://bit.ly/daJ7bp and “Listserves Are a 21Century Tool With Advantages Over 'Web 2.0 Social Media' #2” [Hake (2012)] at http://bit.ly/y2M2t3.

Listserves Are a 21st Century Tool With Advantages Over ‘Web 2.0 Social Media’ #2
Some blog followers might be interested in a recent post “Listserves Are a 21st Century Tool With Advantages Over ‘Web 2.0 Social Media’ #2” [Hake (2012)]. The abstract reads:
************************************************
ABSTRACT: In an article “Where Do Listservs. . . . [[sic – “listserv” is a trademark of L-soft , the generic term is “listserve”]]. . . . . Fit in a Social Media World? The networking tool of the 90s is starting to show its age,” law librarian Greg Lambert implied that listserves are a “20th Century Tool in the 21st Century” which clog up the email inbox.
But if Greg had subscribed to discussion lists running on LISTSERV software by L-Soft [see at http://www.lsoft.com/ and http://www.lsoft.com/catalist.html ] he could have subscribed in the NOMAIL mode, thus receiving NO MAIL from the list while being free to browse the archives and post at his leisure, thus saving time, hard drive space, and sanity.
More generally, that Web 2.0 social media tools are much more efficient than listserves is problematic at best - see, e.g., Gerald Grow’s (2009) list of 11 advantages of listserves at http://bit.ly/wBApNg (scroll down about half way). ************************************************

“This situation in education represents the divisions and separations which obtain in social life. The variety of interests which should mark any rich and balanced experience have been torn asunder and deposited in separate institutions with diverse and independent purposes and methods. Business is business, science is science, art is art, politics is politics, social intercourse is social intercourse, morals is morals, recreation is recreation, and so on. Each possesses a separate and independent province with its own peculiar aims and ways of proceeding. Each contributes to the others only externally and accidentally.”

Academic Discussion Lists (ADL’s) vs Social Media #2
Some blog followers might be interested in discussion-list post “Academic Discussion Lists (ADL's) vs Social Media #2” [Hake (2011)].
The abstract reads:
****************************************
ABSTRACT: POD’s Ed Nuhfer complained about requests to move POD discussions to Linked-In. His post drew several responses in support of Academic Discussion Lists (ADL’s) over social media such as Linked-In. Herein I repeat the 11 advantages of ADL’s over social media that were perceptively listed by Gerald Grow (2009) of the JourNet list in his post “The Value Of Email Discussion Lists.”

More Difficult to Read Text Leads to Better Retention #3
Some blog followers might be interested in a post "More Difficult to Read Text Leads to Better Retention #3" [Hake (2010)]. The abstract reads:
***************************************
ABSTRACT: In response to my post "Re: More Difficult to Read Text Leads to Better Retention" [which called attention to the article "Fortune Favors the Bold (and the Italicized): Effects of Disfluency on Educational Outcomes" by Oppenheimer et al. (2010)], EDDRA2's Keith Baker made some points upon which I commented in "Re: More Difficult to Read Text Leads to Better Retention #2."
In response to the latter post, SCListserv's Owen White wrote (paraphrasing): "Wikipedia has an article on the readability and legibility of typography at http://bit.ly/cgrVQe . . . . I'd always been taught that serif fonts (e.g., Times Roman -- fonts with little 'tails' at the ends of letters) is better for 'body text' since it provides more clues to critical distinctions; lower case 'l', for example, in contrast to upper case 'I' -- can you tell the difference in this sans-serif font?"
Similarly, JourNet's Gerald Grow had questioned Oppenheimer et al.'s designation of certain fonts as "easy" and "hard" to read in response to "Re: More Difficult to Read Text Leads to Better Retention." Grow wrote (paraphrasing): "At the link http://longleaf.net/hardtype.pdf I've posted some text set in type similar to that used in the study -- passages set in 16-point Arial, 12-point Comic Sans at 75%, and 12-point Didot (I didn't have the similar Bodoni on hand) at 75%. Print it out (an on-screen version will not provide an accurate comparison) and take a look: Is 16-point Arial really easy to read? That's debatable. . . . . . It's not clear that the study convincingly compared an easy-to-read font with a hard-to-read font. Perhaps examining the printed materials used in the study will help clear up this question."
