Carvin heads to NPR

Andy Carvin announces on his weblog that he's joining NPR as senior product manager for online communities.

"These activities could take a variety of forms: online social networks, wikis, blogs, mobcasting, citizen journalism, original content sharing." Carvin runs the Digital Divide Network and has worked for years on web education projects.
