Author Uses Blog Comments to Peer Review

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/blog_peer_review.php

Someone once said, "There are as many truths as there are observers." This blog is making this statement true. A book called "Expressive Processing: Digital Fictions, Computeer Games, and Software Studies" is being published by MIT Press and peer reviewed by bloggers (a community of intelligent bloggers) and for integrity purposes, a traditional peer review is being done as well. This article is interesting because it is validating the voices of nontraditional intellectuals and exemplifies the possibilty of my students' voices really being heard and respected by other members of the community. This validates students' opinions and makes them want to participate.
