Abstract
ClassHopper integrates technique with subject by applying strategies of information science, specifically strategies epitomized by social software such as weblogs, to examine socio-economic class. ClassHopper explores the idea of class as an emergent taxonomy, a self-organizing system, by taking participants on a journey of cultural choices and values where their own class identity and class mobility are measured against fixed markers and against the relativistic movement and perception of other participants as measured in real-time.
