(1) We asked the question in class: "Who are these 46 million [?] people who aren't using the Internet?"
Here's a nice episode of On the Media about one of them.
(2) I mentioned a social network that sort of billed itself as "Instagram for writers," i.e., social blogging, but I couldn't remember the name. It was the place where, it seemed to me, everyone was leading and no one was following.
Its name is Biosgraphy, which maybe suggests why I couldn't remember it.
Tying things back to our reading about ICT design and the reader-to-leader framework: I think Biosgraphy failed and Medium succeeded in part because Biosgraphy had a higher barrier to entry with respect to reading. It isn't strictly required to log in to read on Biosgraphy, but it's a hell of a lot harder than on Medium.
