Timeline and catalog of Internet Memes

For those of you exploring Internet memes with your students you might find this site useful. It compiles an interactive history of memes going back to 1982 with the emergence of the emoticon.

Other formats included within the site are a list, flipbook, and map, so users can select the view they like best.

Digital Literature from Penguin Publishing

PenguinUK has challenged some of its top authors to create new forms of story - designed specially for the internet.

Their We Tell Stories project took six authors and offered them six weeks to create six interactive, online stories. Check out the 21 Steps story...great fun! Hard Times is intriguing, too.

Flickr and libraries

Thanks to "hot tipper" Fiona for this article on uses for flickr in a variety of library and educational settings.

The UWB/CCC Campus Library has a flickr tour - I hope to do some new photos this summer!
