Notes from the Panel: Participatory Culture

Moderated by Jesse Walker. The three panelists were Elizabeth Osdar, Kenny Miller, and Arin Crumley (Arin via video chat session from LA) Kenny Miller talked about Navigational dominance Democratization of bandwidth How do you enter in a respectful way? Basic tribal behavior, what team are you on? Zero sum game, how much attention time do people have and what are they going to do with it? Troubadours ultimately bought by Kings/princes to sing, tell their tale; it’s all about folks with power and money trying to game the system Notes from Elizabeth : Look more into Yahoo news, collaboration Yahoo Bought MyBlogLog 10 to 1 pix vs video being shared; i.e. photos easier Notes from Arin: Creator of 4 eyed monsters, live from LA via video and chat Ultimately needed power and the proper volume setting to be heard 9 months got 3000 viewers via festivals, online episode one got seen by over 3000 in first 36 hours Have ultimately more additional content (more minutes) than actually was in the original film MySpace comments much more revealing than the festival Q&A sessions, they got worked into the next episodes because the videos and comments were almost real time Solicited email and zip codes to represent locations where they came from to interpret demand and then approach the theaters with the defined demand to arrange for showings Ken again: "The end" site started with a moderator, then grew up to be self policing Elizabeth again: What you witness news; changing the notion of what is newsworthy, what is the tone? How personal does it get Note to self: Consider getting a MySpace account to create a touch point for audience awareness Yahoo considers their news site a navigation network, point to sites with news on and off their place Note: to reader, these will get fleshed out properly later.

Notes from John Palfrey's talk

He opened with a bit about how the schedule reflects a trajectory from white guys talking up front, to the panel and this afternoon to collaboration/working groups Using MindMap for his presentation, expanding upon the plus signs and then minimizing as he goes, very effective Three main talking points • Participatory democracy • Economic democracy • Semiotic democracy Context matters a whole lot It matters what baseline upon which you choose, better is not enough Stronger middle class needed to bridge the gap between the top and bottom Control of cultural goods, moved to the hands of many More YouTube, more Secondlife, less Disney

John Palfrey and his MindMap Presentation

Live Blogging at Beyond Broadcast 2007

After some technical difficulties were resolved here at MIT, the internet is now available. Henry Jenkins gave the keynote, John Palfrey gave a brief but informative presentation using a MindMap. There is a panel discussion underway with three people in the room and a fourth connected via video chat session from LA. (details and names to follow later) Cool stuff, very exciting!
