idc_texts: Some Exploratory Notes on Produsers and Produsage - 0 views

  • These changes are facilitated (although, importantly, not solely driven) by the emergence of new, participatory technologies of information access, knowledge exchange, and content production, many of whom are associated with Internet and new media technologies.
  • J.C. Herz has described the same process as ‘harnessing the hive’ (2005) – that is, the harnessing of promising and useful ideas, generated by expert consumers, by commercial producers (and sometimes under ethically dubious models which appear to exploit and thus hijack the hive as a cheap generator of ideas, rather than merely harnessing it in a benign fashion).
  • In such models, the production of ideas takes place in a collaborative, participatory environment which breaks down the boundaries between producers and consumers and instead enables all participants to be users as well as producers of information and knowledge, or what I have come to produsers (also see Bruns 2005a).
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • These produsers engage not in a traditional form of content production, but are instead involved in produsage – the collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement.
  • Sites of produsage flourish if they can attract a large number of engaged and experienced participants who adhere to the ideals of the site. This requires a balance between openness and structure – if sites are seen as being controlled by a closed in-group of participants, they are unlikely to attract new produsers into the fold, as these are likely to feel alienated; on the other hand, if anyone can participate without any sense of oversight by individuals or the established community as a whole, then cohesion is likely to be lost.
  • At such stages, projects often rely on a small number of highly engaged contributors, and it is crucial for them to both convey a sense of purpose and drive for the project as well as create an environment which invites participation from new contributors.

  • Did
    you ever see that episode of Gilligan's Island where they almost get
    off the island and then Gilligan messes up and then they don't? I
    saw that one. I saw that one a lot when I was growing up. And every
    half-hour that I watched that was a half an hour I wasn't posting at
    my blog or editing Wikipedia or contributing to a mailing list. Now I
    had an ironclad excuse for not doing those things, which is
    none of those things existed then. I was forced into the channel
    of media the way it was because it was the only option. Now it's
    not, and that's the big surprise. However lousy it is to sit in your
    basement and pretend to be an elf, I can tell you from personal
    experience it's worse to sit in your basement and try to figure if
    Ginger or Mary Ann is cuter.

  • Here's something four-year-olds know: A screen that ships without a mouse ships
    broken. Here's something four-year-olds know: Media that's targeted at you but doesn't include you may not
    be worth sitting still for. Those are things that make me believe that this is a one-way change. Because four year olds, the
    people who are soaking most deeply in the current environment, who won't have to go through the trauma that I have to go
    through of trying to unlearn a childhood spent watching Gilligan's
    Island    , they just assume that media
    includes consuming, producing and sharing.

shared by glen gatin on 14 Apr 08 - Snapshot
  • We might like to think that information-sharing is intrinsic to academic work, especially academic work that is publicly funded. However we also place many restrictions on publishing, like peer review, and I imagine there are still academics who try to keep their work secret until it is ready for any number of semi-paranoid reasons. I'm not going to say we shouldn't do these things, but we need to recognize that the discipline works by controlling the production and distribution of disciplinary knowledge.

    See Skirky Coasean floor- the cost of dissemintation of academic research has dropped to near zero. When institutions insist on exhorbitant journal access fees they doom themselves to irrelevance. Attention economy needs eyeballs and the eyeballs glaze over at the idea of paying $180.00 for a PDF report on online education in Canada, a publicly funded research project.(295 for the hard copy)

    It's not evil, but they are tracking users and clickstreams, which (are) the real currency of the Web, and most people don't care. If you can get all data, you can target ads and the user experience, such as showing a site in a different color, depending on user profile."

  • Now, however, the President's Daily Brief and other crucial intelligence reports often rely less on secrets from risky espionage missions than on material that's available to just about anyone.
    • Vicki Davis
      Vicki Davis on 01 Apr 08
       
      "Open-source" information is becoming part of intelligence gathering as analysts turn to Internet sources of information.
  • Such material is known as "open-source intelligence" or, in the acronym-laden parlance of the 16 federal agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community, OSINT. The explosion of information available via the Internet and other public sources has pushed the collection and analysis of that material to the top of the official priority list in the spy world, intelligence officials say.
  • Federal commissions repeatedly have criticized the intelligence community for not moving more quickly and aggressively to exploit open-source information.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Every potentially useful nugget must be vetted because enemy states and terror groups, such as al-Qaeda, sometimes use the Internet and other open channels to put out misleading information.
  • The CIA has set up an Open Source Center, based in a nondescript office building in suburban Washington, where officers pore over everything from al-Qaeda-backed websites to papers distributed at science and technology symposiums, says Douglas Naquin, the center's director.
  • Other agencies, such as the FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency, are training scores of analysts to mine open sources and giving many of them desktop Internet access
  • national security officials also are grappling with the flip side of the open-source phenomenon: making sure sensitive information held by the government, businesses and even individuals doesn't slip into the same sort of public outlets that U.S. intelligence agencies are scrutinizing.
  • Open sources can provide up to 90% of the information needed to meet most U.S. intelligence needs
  • Vicki Davis
    Vicki Davis on 01 Apr 08
     
    Open source now has a new meaning -- the traditional term has meant "open source software" but now, increasingly it is meaning "open source information" -- as US spy agencies are talking about the use of more open source information, or information taken from openly available and free sources on the Internet.

    As we teach new terminology and how to understand the words that make our world meaningful, it is increasingly important to teach students to watch and understand the evolution of language. This is an excellent case study.

    This is also an important term and article to be reviewed by students involved in the Horizon project that are analyzing government trends and our changing world.
  • Vicki Davis
    Vicki Davis on 01 Apr 08
     
    This new term of open source information is a very important emerging trend that should be included in the subgroup of those analyzing government information and trends.
