The Internet has been changing the world since it’s creation, but its effects on American politics were at the forefront of the conversation in the Halls of Fame room in Carroll Hall yesterday. Assistant Professor Dave Karpf of George Washington University delivered a presentation on his new book, “The MoveOn Effect: The Unexpected Transformation of American Political Advocacy.” Karpf began the book as a dissertation project seven years ago. “So the first word was written in 2006, but that word also changed 18 times before it went to the publisher,” said Karpf. The book examines ways in which the Internet and political action groups that originated on the web have changed the way Americans interact in the political system. John Cluverius, a third year graduate student, said he found the presentation especially interesting. “It’s good to see academic work that follows political developments in the world so closely,” Cluvius said.

The creator of Tar Heel Makeouts says when the account was made, he or she did not intend to continue running it or start it legimitately. “I had no idea it would catch on to the degree that it has, “ the creator says.

If you haven’t checked it out you should.

I basically wanted to know what all of the hype was about. Yesterday I completed #81 of the UNC bucket list and introduced myself to UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp. As we all know, Chancellor Thorp will be resigning at the end of the 2013 school year, so I could not think of a better item to cross off the UNC bucket list.
