	2-4.1 The mediamoo
		Like at a coffee break at a conference, there is a social convention that it is appropriate to strike up a conversation with strangers simply based on their name tags.
		On MediaMOO, you can read descriptions of people's research interests as well as their names, and this can form a basis for striking up a substantive conversation [Bruckman 93].
		The operators of MediaMOO have provided the materials for the buildings of this community, but are not responsible for what is said or done in them.

		By requesting former participants of MediaMOO to comment on its heydays and pitfalls and its influence in subsequent professional projects, my main objective was to analyze if what happened in this one-of-a-kind on-line environment that mixed educational and professional Media cultures, could happen in a similar agency set up in a university domain.
		My hypothesis for depicting this model was based on the assumption that MediaMOO clearly fits in the organization of Media Studies (as an academic discipline) as a playground where students would go to be trained as better mediators of the mass communication processes they are taught to manage in class.
		A potential model based on the MediaMOO's lessons is meant to be a superior learning environment that would accompany courses and that would let the Media community to better explore the Internet as a media format that opens up possibilities to explore other Media.

	"Democracy" in Cyberspace
		MediaMOO is a text-based virtual reality environment or MUD on the Internet designed to be a professional community for media researchers.
		I thought that MediaMOO had been founded on a principle of scholarly sharing and that one of its most unique qualities is that we all know each other's identities and addresses.
		I think someone's dog died or they hated their job or they hated their spouse and it was just a lot easier to yell at people through this political process and express their personal feelings of anger through that channel than to deal with the fact that the truth is that they hate their lives.

	MOO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MediaMOO is designed for professional media researchers now hosted at Northern Illinois University's Department of English.
		It was originally created in 1993 by Amy Bruckman at the Epistemology and Learning Group at the MIT Media Lab.
		In its heyday around 1996, MediaMOO had over 1000 members, was governed by an elected council, and hosted frequent meetings, including the Tuesday Cafe, a weekly discussion of members of the Computers and Writing community.

		MediaMOO is a research project of Amy Bruckman started at the Epistemology and Learning Group at The MIT Media Lab, and is now hosted at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech.
		MediaMOO was founded by graduate students, and continues to be grounded in an academic environment.
		MediaMOO would become a very different place if it were to become a classroom instead of a open forum.

		The Virtual STS Centre is part of MediaMOO, a MUD which primarily serves researchers in the areas of interactive media, computer science, artificial intelligence, and computers and learning, and which opened in January, 1993.
		The researchers who created and administer MediaMOO (the "janitors") invite STS users to inhabit this area of their virtual world in the hope that mutually beneficial and productive interactions will occur between the two populations of users.

		MediaMOO is a text-based, networked, virtual reality environment designed to extend the type of casual collaboration which occurs at conferences to a daily activity.(1) Visitors to a conference share not just a set of interests, but also a place and a set of activities.
		A number of users commented that their most meaningful interactions on the MUD were with the "regulars"-the people who use MediaMOO the most and are most likely to be logged on at any given time.
		It wasn't until after Albert (Albert Lin) implemented this feature that it occurred to us that it was similar to the comments message, with one important difference: the comments message is controlled by the owner of an object; the commentable object creates a dialog among members of the community about the object.

		MediaMOO used Pavel Curtis' existing lambda core, but the folks at the Media Lab at MIT had a lot of fun designing an architecture for it.
		It would be interesting to try to think of a way in which a technological development might have helped to solve the problem by allowing both groups (those who wanted anonymity and more freedom and those who wanted real names and more control) to get a bit of what they wanted.
		I'm not as well versed in either MediaMOO as Michael or Drupal as Charlie, but when reading what Michael had to say about MediaMOO earlier, it struck me that one possible reason for its demise would be the disparate motivations for folks who used it.

	Jan 96: Finding One's Own in Cyberspace
		MediaMOO is a "multi-user dungeon" or MUD--a virtual world on the Internet with rooms, objects, and people from all around the world.
		Initially, I decided that members of MediaMOO should be allowed to choose: they could identify themselves with their real names and e-mail addresses, or remain anonymous.
		Similarly, if MediaMOO were the only virtual community or MIT the only university, I'd argue that they should be open to all.

	A look at some ``meeting'' MOOs
		Well known examples are the MediaMOO (Media Researchers), AstroMOO (Astronomers), BioMOO (Biologists) and PMCMOO (Post Modern Culture).
		It is a place to come meet colleagues in media studies and related fields and brainstorm, to hold colloquia and conferences, to explore the serious side of this new medium.
		MediaMOO would become a very different place if it were filled with, for example, hundreds of freshman composition students.

	Invitation to Netoric's Tuesday Cafe discussion, 1/28/97 (fwd)
		Here are a couple of ways to read it: If you have a MediaMOO character, you can go to MediaMOO and do `@subscribe research' to subscribe to the list; then use `@next on research' (over and over) to read the posts on the list one at a time.
		Being subscribed to the list means you'll be notified when new posts appear on it, and the MOO keeps track of where you are in the list so that, for example, any time you use the `@next' command, you'll automatically pick up where you left off last time.
		If you're using a guest character to log into MediaMOO, or you just don't want to be subscribed to the list, you can go to MediaMOO and read the posts on the list by doing `@peek 1 on research', `@peek 2 on research', and so on.

		The community of learners present on MediaMOO was one of his key motivations for learning to program.
		Susan comments that for her, the tutorials' primary function was to help her overcome that initial emotional barrier: "I did cdr's tutorials and I realized 'I can do this!' But then I had to step back and figure out what it was that I had done." Cdr began by programming a "television set" object.

	help manners
		MediaMOO has some rules that are stricter than the rules in a number of other MOOs--elseMOO.
		People who have identities on MediaMOO must be doing media research and thus are likely to be graduate students, independent scholars, and faculty than students or non-university-affiliated people.
		Though everybody at MediaMOO, and at the Cafe, is doing research, members are expected not to conduct research on the people they interact with there.

		MediaMOO's paradigm is a research complex, with libraries, laboratories, class and meeting rooms, as well as a network of individual spaces, less extensive than on Lambda (see Bruckman and Resnick).
		That is, whereas one's LambdaMOO character registration is hindered only by a delay due to limitations on per-day admissions, MediaMOO requires the vetting of one's current research activities in media studies for admission as a registered participant.
		II.a: Meanwhile, on MediaMOO, until fall 1993, no system of governance was in place other than the autocratic rule of the site's chief "janitor", Amy Bruckman.

		CMC is a relatively new field of studies, and the exchanges taking place through Internet show many characteristics which are those of a child's discourse, before the child has been exposed to a significant number of experts, enough to enable it to bridge the gap between spontaneous and scientific concepts.
		These constitute by no means an exhaustive list; they are to be considered merely as samples of CMC which mirror part of my own personal experience in the field.
