  5. Digital Sociology: An IntroductionDeborah Lupton These are the three main reasons I use social media as part of my academic professional practice: • Research: to let others know about mine, to learn about that of others and to gather material to support my research. • Creativity: using social media can be a great way to create items to share with others quickly and easily and often in a pleasing visual form. • Engagement: social media offer an accessible way to engage with other academics and non-academics. http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/bitstream/2123/8621/2/Digital%20Sociology.pdf

  8. What is a blog? • A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. • In simple terms, a blog is a website, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not. www.blogger.com
