Information 101

Imagine a class with no subject. That's right, no department under which it falls.

Better yet, it's a class with no professor -- and no teaching assistant, either.

Now, the cherry on the sundae: you can even do it from the comforts of your bed, all you need is your computer.

Imagine a video chat class, dubbed Information 101, to which you get to invite your friends. You pick the dates and times you want to meet. Then, at each meeting, each person posts a minimum of one link source to discuss among the group.

We already do posts, in the form of tweets and status updates. What's lacking is our active discussion of them. And this is key to processing all that information that we are bombarded with daily. People need to discuss and develop ideas. This is the outlet for them.
