Monitoring Your Child's Online Behavior in 2012 Let’s just put it this way, “Facebooking” and “YouTubing” is no longer just a “cute” thing kids do for fun to pass the time.

Excerpted from the article:
"What if your friends laid out the home pages of major news organizations, instead of a bunch of editors you’ve never met?
News.me Exposé is a bookmarklet that reveals the “top stories” as determined by what your friends are sharing on Twitter.
Exposé reflects the company’s belief that our friends can be better curators than professional journalists.
Jake Levine, the News.me general manager, said: “Destinations are not irrelevant, but they might be less important than they once were. We don’t get to decide anymore how and in what order users will consume content — and they’re using that content in ways that we never expected. People are coming in through the side door, and engaging with pages as a means to an end: participation.
News.me Exposé could work well as a widget embedded into a news site. Think of it like a personalized “Most Emailed” or “Recommended For You” list. A next step, I suggested to Levine, might be to dynamically redesign a news home page with stories shared by your friends.

"[O]pen journalism is not something The Guardian is trying to make happen. It is something that is happening to journalism and The Guardian is realising it. In this case, The Guardian is breaking ground by realising the power of adapting to the changes that we are creating." That’s a pretty good way of describing the reality of the media business today, and one Rusbridger would probably agree with. It’s not like the Guardian suddenly decided that open journalism was a great marketing slogan, or the surest path to generating ad revenue (something that isn’t entirely clear, as more than one critic pointed out in the wake of its advertising campaign). Instead, Rusbridger has made it plain that he sees it as the most reasonable response to what is happening to the industry — and ultimately a better approach than putting up walls to try and recreate the old scarcity that media entities of all kinds used to rely on.

Red Redemption's Fate of the World, where the player makes decisions on social, environmental and technological policies, has been downloaded 1 million times since its launch a year ago, and could be a powerful tool for schools to get children engaged with some of the complex issues that the planet faces. However, will children or students or anyone outside the sustainable development community want to play this game when they get home instead of playing Grand Theft Auto or World of Warcraft? The fact that you can destroy the world if you choose, may help, but the simple game mechanic and interface may mean it can't hold its own against other games with more sophisticated game mechanics.
