Berkman summer interns set up in the blogosphere
From the Berkman Summer Interns 2008 blog...
It’s a little crowded in the Berkman Center’s physical domain. Interns (myself included) cluster into the kitchen, the conference room, the library, or any other space with power outlets and chairs that appears unoccupied in the cozy environs of 23 Everett Street.

There is also a rich, digital neighborhood of Berkman blogs, which covers everything from the personal lives of staffers and fellows, to official journals of on-going research. Like I said, it might not be the biggest place in meat space, but on the internet it feels endless.

In this space, the summer’s 30+ interns will be posting updates on their work and research at the Center in addition to personal introductions and notes on their time at Harvard this summer. We are a fascinating bunch, I can tell you. Doctoral candidates, law students, and undergraduates alike compose this year’s pool, all sharing the unique perspectives, and experiences on issues of contemporary networked culture and societal paradigms...
