      This article brings up a good point when discussing the negative ad positive sides of media convergence. I agree with certain points from both sides. On the negative side I agree that not all voices are taken into account, only those with access to new media. On the positive side I agree that the input that is given from voices heard helps improve services and generates awareness. 
  • uggesting that media audiences nowadays play a crucial role in creating and distributing content,
  • mprove the value of the service, the flexibility of topics and the competence of the contributers’ as well as enable technological developments, change the elitism of media professionals and create new general awareness
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • decline in the diversity of material offered and result in a tendency that voices of those lacking economic power will not be taken into account
  • certain segments of the audience arguably remain neglected and unable to fully participate in the new media culture.
  • new forms of interaction between producers and consumers

    Let's just reveal everything about my regular online life, lol. I play a lot of 'virtual pet' sites, where you collect little creatures, but Aywas is one that stands out a lot. In the spirit of participatory media, it's a very different kind of participation from the usual kind of pet site. Aywas encourages users to create their own pets by colouring them in with sophisticated art programs (such as Photoshop) and submitting them. In turn, these pets are then eligible to be 'bred' with pets other users have made, and a site artist will mix and match the designs on both parent pets to create a new one. It's a very interesting concept and heavily user dependent for participation. If you're interested, shoot me a message at user ID #6429 and I can get you started!

    In this article found on Forbes magazine website the article discusses the continuous extension of copyright terms. In specific it highlights how disney used its influence on members of congress to keep extending copyright term therefore disney material could never be used by other authors or film makers. It is ironic owing to the fact that a large number of works created by disney were based on stories in the public domain.

It doesn’t matter if you are a start-up business or running a growing concern, or whether you have a bricks-and-mortar store or operate solely online. The bottom line is that blogging can help drive traffic to your website, build authority and create community.

  • social familiarity
  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity
  • Thanks to the startups and digital entrepreneurs of this last generation, we are all minor league auteurs or videographers, used to framing the shot, creating more drama, working the lighting.

      The power of social media. Everyone is a storyteller, and the simplicity and availability of electronics, social media, and the world wide web, makes it possible for anybody to be a relevant news anchor.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”
    • ilana enoukov

      Powerful because without awareness there will never be action.

  • Each kind of a website has its own peculiarities. A common mistake in web design community is to ignore the specificity of a website.

      Michael Tran on 11 Mar 14
       
      A lot of people pick a template because of how it looks but certain templates don't work for certain kinds of sites. An online shop for example shouldn't have a template that was originally designed for a fashion blog for example.
  • In order to help people that want to create their own website at any cost, the designers came with a great solution: website templates. A template is a structure that needs small customizations, especially for personalizing it, and after finishing these it may be uploaded.
  • Tip #2: Choose the template you need but not the one you just visually like

  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The trick though, is to not get SO outside the box that the website fails to make sense or lose sight of it’s purpose.
  • challenge yourself to be bold and forward thinking when it comes to design.
