Berkman Center
After watching the, “Welcome to the Berkman Center on youtube anchored by Ethan Zuckerman I felt I got a good idea on what the group was about. Ethan Zuckerman, a fellow at the Berkman Center for internet and society at Harvard Law School describes the group as an “unusual coalition of academics, lawyers, geeks, activists, and researchers” all of whom are united by a common mission of studying what is going on in cyberspace and also to become more in depth into helping the new internet frontier kick into full gear. The group executes projects to try and change the online world and what is going on online in general. There are many projects the Berkman Center works on such as the open net initiative which documents internet censorship all around the world. Also, a project known as Global Voices which Ethan himself helps to manage. Global Voices looks at web blogs from all over the Earth and translates them into English to make available for all English speakers to view. Personally I think that’s quite an accomplishment in itself and will definitely spread the popularity of blogging and the internet as a whole.
