Why Gossip? on Everyday Urbanism?

I do believe that everyone enjoys gossiping to certain degree. It just varies in topics and manners. Sometimes you don't realize that you are actually practicing it. Yet you could not deny it is a rather easy way to communicate and to share.
Then, the point is what to share. As you could see, our target should be "everyday urbanism." To be plain, the motivation to share thoughts here is a proposal for mapping and understanding this notion in a more dynamic way. Since the notion itself is such a concept in flux, I hope the discussion about it could be more creative and unlimited, as if we are practicing our everyday life in such a virtual space. So, let's gossip.

If you don't know how to get started, here are some suggestion:

1. A term that confuses you when reading literatures in this vein
2. An academic that you would suggest anyone interests in this topic should learn from
3. Any interesting book? or books that suck?
4. Any creative practice that you happen to learn?
5. Cool thing or idea? Any thought?

I actually have a hope that a glossaries of "everyday urbanism" could be accumulated by these gossip-style collaboration. The more diverse materials and perspectives we share, the richer the content will be.
