Presentation Comments

Grounding:

I really enjoyed your presentation since you guys made your procedure and findings very clear, and especially because you examined your data critically even though your results were totally unexpected. I think this also has really cool real world implications, as it would make people really think about how to design CMC technology to take the grounding into account. I thought the comments from the class regarding the possible interpertations of the study were really intriguing as well. I thought of another possibility, which is that maybe the presistent nature of instant messaging would let both parties better analyze what their partner was saying. You did a great job overall, and good luck with your results and writing your paper!

Facebook - public vs private:

Great job on your presentation! I thought you guys had great visuals, which really aided your presentation. You have a lot of great data in there, and I'm sure that your final paper will have lots of cool findings. I liked your choice of using Facebook to explore the private vs. public setting, because it's so salient in our lives right now, and you can definitely expand your findings to other settings. The idea of audience that you presented really brings the course full circle to one of the first things that we learned in 450. Great job!
