On Participatory Culture in a Networked Era: Dear Henry, Mimi and danah

Some folks in the Digital Writing Month circles have been doing a “slow read” of the new book by Henry Jenkins, danah boyd and Mimi Ito called Participatory Culture in a Networked Era.

We’re on Twitter with the #digiwrimo hashtag. And in the Digital Writing Month Google Plus community. Folks are annotating with the Kindle app in Amazon.
