... but one more way to become a small part of the
online ecosystem... the great emerging network of online life..."
i.believe...
open source media (open media) is the near future of the network...
exchanging thoughts, ideas, experiences, memories, and information is not the same any more as it was even five years ago... the internet has evolved into a platform that spontaneously catalyses convergence... i see formerly separate paths of blogging, social networking, and information media marrying in various combinations... public and private efforts such as
Wikipedia, Socialtext,
Always On are babies of these marriages...
it is clear to me that user-generated content ... and now transactions ... are key results of the proliferation of the network that gives power to the edge/fringe... the rise of the individual voice... but individual voices shouting out together drown each other out... and this is where i believe open media can step up in its various forms to build context and help make sense out of the noise...
in my opinion, an open media platform is a peer-reviewed collaborative knowledge powerhouse that builds context for sharing and discussion of thoughts, ideas, experiences, memories, and information...
in my opinion, the open media revolution is here to stay... and
evolve... lets walk together on this fascinating journey.
