I have not been active in social media much this week, having spent most of my time updating my web 1.0 personal site now that I am no longer with NITLE. I thought I had finished, but I’ve discovered a few things I still want to fix: Typos, a misplaced section divider, and other things of that nature. If you have a chance, look at it and send your comments. I welcome them all, whether it’s about a typo or the whole design.
Still, I did tweet a bit. The most popular ones this week were, most to least popular:

US Lifts Bans on Two Controversial Scholars
Tariq Ramadan
There’s been a major development in a story I’ve commented on many times in this blog and its predecessor, the refusal of entry to Tariq Ramadan, one of Europe’s leading scholars on Islam, and particularly it’s evolution due to the influence of Muslims in the West.
Six years after using the Patriot Act to revoke the visa of a prominent Muslim academic, the United States State Department reversed itself and said Wednesday that it would no longer bar the scholar from entering the United States.
The decision came in the form of an order signed by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. —January 20, 2010, The New York Times

Three Interesting Links from Morocco
This post is simply to pass on a few links, all relating to Morocco.
The first is to the site for the Maroc Blog Awards. The title is slightly misleading because you don’t just vote on blogs. There is an award for the photo, Facebook group, and Twitterer of the year, among others. Morocco and Moroccans don’t have a huge online presence. It’s a small country. But they took to the internet relatively early in the global scheme of things. I attended a conference about the internet in Morocco in the mid 1990s and it was packed. It is also a pretty well wired country and lots of Moroccans who are active in online media outside of Morocco still prominently identify their online selves as Moroccan, so there is some good stuff for voters to choose from. It will be interesting to see, however, if any of the recently arrested bloggers. The latest was on December 8.

Avoid Black Friday Traffic and Crowds: Celebrate Buy Nothing Day
November 27 is Buy Nothing Day, a day to escape the consumerist madness of the holiday season by simply pledging to not take part in it. Avoid the holiday madness. Don’t get up at 4 am to make it the “After Thanksgiving Sale” at the local superstore. Read a book, take a bike ride, play a game, shoot some hoops, call old friends, meditate, do volunteer work or find some other activity that doesn’t add to the waste in our garbage dumps, exploit workers in the developing world or contribute further to the mountains of consumer debt so many struggle with.
