Publish, then filter

 

"The media landacape is transformed, because personal communication and publishing, previously separate functions, now shade into one another. One result is to break the older pattern of professional filtering of the good from the mediocre before publication; now such filtering is increasingly social, and happens after the fact."

Shirky 2008, Chapter 4

 

Open source movement

 

> Open source software is an alternative to private, proprietary code (eg Firefox v Internet Explorer)

> Wikipedia is an 'open source' encyclopedia

> Open source concepts are now being applied to marketing and democracy

> Why do people do things for free? 'Psychic Capital' (Groundswell); Tribes (Godin)

> Crowdsourcing involves many minds in solving problems

 

Private v public 

 

> Where is the boundary between work and play (eg Facebook, YouTube)?

> How can we control what appears in the public domain?

> How can we manage our personal and corporate reputation?

 

Channels v audiences

 

> Mass media is a channel rather than an audience

> But what about blogs - individual or media entity?

Audience or community (Chris Brogan)
