I will be honest, I thought this challenge was difficult. I had a hard time finding people through diigo.com and delicious.com, who were interested in new media, transmedia, and fandom professionally rather than simply for fun. I had trouble just figuring out these websites, whose platforms were very different than what I am used to.
But I ended up finding some interesting folks, one of whom can be found here.
What you can find in this profile of bookmarks are articles on transmedia, new media, digital humanities, and Web 2.0 and how all this affects academia. This is a topic I'm fairly new to, but the resources here are very interesting, such as this article on wikis and blogs and how they help categorize academia now, and this article on narrative history and memes.
This user highlights and annotates certain texts, but not all, and updates with a great deal of frequency. They have a lot bookmarked, and though a great deal of it has to do with academia and the Internet, there is enough variety that those simply interested in one or the other can find a lot of what they are looking for. The tags are fairly organized to help with this search.
There is a lot of content here, and it is all very, very interesting. I would definitely recommend checking this guy's page out for a look! :)
(Note: I'm not sure if we are allowed to use names, so I will just link and refrain from naming him in case privacy is an issue.)
