Some blog followers might be interested in a discussion list post “Re: What’s In a Selfie?” [Hake (2014)]. The abstract reads:
***************************************************
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). ************************************************

“It is not enough to observe, experiment, theorize, calculate and communicate; we must also argue, criticize, debate, expound, summarize, and otherwise transform the information that we have obtained individually into reliable, well established, public knowledge.”
