There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"I don't want to celebrate them just because they have a lot of users and make a lot of money," said Ian Bogost, Associate Professor of Digital Media and Director of Graduate Studies in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture. Bogost continued, "The company has been "very, very brazen about their business process. It turns your relationships into these resources that form the backbone of their business."
