U-Me Digital Humanities Week features innovative news blog

To coincide with the University of Maine's Digital Humanities Week from 26 to 29 September 2011, the New Media Department's Still Water lab has produced a news blog featuring stories by digital humanists, including HASTAC luminary Cathy Davidson.

Visitors to the site can read, rate, and comment on the stories in a style reminiscent of news recommendation sites like Digg, Reddit, or Slashdot.

The conference itself, meanwhile, is a week-long series of presentations and workshops featuring sociologists of Twitter, Google Maps hackademics, and best-selling Kindle authors. More at http://DigitalCuration.UMaine.edu.
