2. Rosie the Riveter is a good example of story around women workers during War World II. This spontaneous collection was pulled together by the Flickr community by using the tag "rosie the riveter" to describe photos of the Library of Congress that had been classified differently.

3. The 25th Anniversary of the Bhopal gas leak is an interesting example of how social media such as Facebook and Wikipedia made possible a "remembering together" of the event that helped develop and reaffirm existing social solidarities; it also offered the possibility of new social connections between diverse people. This case is part of an ongoing virtual ethnographic study conducted by Ph.D. candidate Sophia B. Liu at the Connectivity Lab, University of Colorado, Boulder, directed by Prof. Leysia Palen.

4. For example, "Silence of the Lands" is a project that enables people to capture sonic experiences of the natural environment and use them as conversation pieces of a social dialogue about the places they share. Participants capture their sonic experiences with a GPS-equipped recording device and then create, annotate, and share soundscapes of the places where sounds were recorded. The result is an acoustic map that changes over time, according to people's shared perceptions and interpretations of their environmental setting. See Giaccardi, E. and Palen, L.
