Building Online Communities Without Identity:

Creating online communities is hard. Creating online communities where users are anonymous is even harder. This talk will follow the ups and downs of attempting to build thousands of online communities across the country. When we started Yik Yak we had no idea what it meant to build online communities or reputation systems, we had to figure it out along the way. We made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot of lessons, the main one being that community always comes first.

Cofounder and COO of Yik Yak:

Work with the founding Dean, and former assistant director of the National Science Foundation, of the College of Computing on an archival history project about the CoC at Georgia Tech!  Tasks will include such things as updating and formatting an historical timeline with information, putting citations into proper format, and going to the library and archives and digging out/fact checking information.

The project should take 40 - 60 hours over the next few months, with a possibility of an additional 40 - 50 hours after that.  This is a PAID position, $10 per hour, up to a maximum of $1500.

The potential internship candidate should be:

    dependable
    responsive by email/phone
    familiar with appropriate citation styles
    well versed in MS Word and Excel
    knowledge of website creation a bonus
    familiar with (or willing to get familiar with quickly) the GT library and/or GT Archives
    a strong writer

This position starts AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, so please contact Dr. D'Unger ASAP if interested.

Want to help out the HTS undergraduate program in its recruitment efforts?  Know how to convert a PSD document to HTML?  Apparently, Dr. D'Unger can do it, but only 1/2 way (the images disappear).  If you have a 1/2 hour to spare to help out the undergraduate program, please email Dr. D'Unger.  Thank you!
