I had the pleasure yesterday of giving a presentation on citizens media and Ourmedia to author Howard Rheingold’s Digital Journalism class at Stanford University. Other speakers during the semester include Craig Newmark (tomorrow), Dan Gillmor and Fabrice Florin.
This was a very plugged-in group of students (including six Knight fellows). Everyone knew about blogging and wikis. The one surprise was that only one student out of 19 had heard of mash-ups. Remix Culture has quite a way to go.
