Hey Carlo. Thanks for “friending” me at Twitter. I’m finishing up my Masters at Fordham with a thesis called “Comparative Analysis: Social Networking Structures and Progressive Political Identity” and I’m a member of the Media Ecology Association. It seems like we share academic interests as well as our interest in the PdF. Feel free to send me an e-mail anytime. Hope your studies go well.
Mike.
