Wiki page for Mulitmedia. Bookmarked for two reasons: 1) It defines the term and 2) Wikipedia is a form of collaborative Multimedia.

This Wiki page gives a greater insight into the term multimedia. It talks about what falls into the category for multimedia, the history of the term, characterisitics, research, and which creative industries make use of multimedia. It gives a good look at the purpose, and allows areas to question which can bring up topics about authorship.

This article studied how students, professors, and graduate instructors feel about using multimedia in large lecture halls. Over half of the students reported that multimedia in the classroom stimulated their interest in the subject. This article explains how more and more technology/multimedia is being used to teach students.

This is a good website that introduces Multimedia Writing. It gives tips on how to write for Multimedia and the history behind it. This is a good starting place to get us thinking about what multimedia writing exactly is.

Reminded me of the copyright and plagiarism discussions we had in class. I thought it would be an okay reference.

An article about Multimedia Storytelling, defining and giving examples.

A look at 'Erased de Kooning' showing that sometimes art can be the unmaking of art.

A paradox of sociology at the turn of the 21st century was that the discipline had largely abandoned the empirical study of journalistic organizations and news institutions at the moment when the media had gained visibility in political, economic, and cultural spheres; when other academic fields had embraced the study of media and society; and when leading sociological theorists had broken from the disciplinary canon to argue that the media are key actors in modern life. The author examines the point of journalistic production in one major news organization in the late 1990's and shows how reporters and editors managed constraints of time, space, and market pressure under regimes of convergence news making. The study considers the implications of these conditions for the particular forms of intellectual and cultural labor that journalists produce, drawing connections between the political economy of the journalistic field, the organizational structure of multimedia firms, new communications technologies, and the qualities of content created by media workers.

This master's thesis uses sociological methods to discover why Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" series has become such a cult phenomenon. This article is relevant to my project, which focuses on YouTube "remixes" of the popular series. This article will help to explain why such a large portion of the population is attracted to the series. It may also be useful in ascertaining the force that drives the creators of the videos perpetuate their multimedia expressions.

Twitter SPY displays the Twitter public timeline in a fancy and addictive way!

The introduction talks about multimedia writing and editing, two things I'm very interested in.

This is a website that Sandy introduced to me. Basically this man named Dene Grigar, created a 24 experimental project where he asked people to send him "tweets" to create one large collaborative story. With their permission, he was allowed to copy and paste specific "tweets" and arrange them into a novel on his "Project Blog". Over 85 stories were submitted by over 25 participants from five countries. This website and this project is the perfect example of collaborative art using multimedia.

Multimedia writing mapped back onto the world. Is it "read" by the body?

I saw an article in the DA about West Virginia University's News and Information Services, WVU Today launching a new website. They said they did this to keep up with the changing culture. The website is based around multimedia and social media, letting people interact with the story. The story talked about the new iWVU application available for iPhones, and a WVU mobile site for other smart phones. The website WVU Today allows users to share news stories in a variety of ways under the "share this". There is a media center section with a story archive, video archive, podcasts, and more.

Web 2.0 and multimedia in 4 and a half minutes.

This site is set up exactly like Google.com, but instead of searching the entire web it only searches Twitter messages. The purpose of this site (if there is one) is to type in whatever word or phrase you want and it will search through thousands of Twitter messages and bring up the ones where your words appear in. For example if I type the word "school" into the Twitter Search, it will bring back anyone's status that currently has the word school in it. This site also represents multimedia authorship because it taking people's tweets and allowing others to read them freely without knowing whose status it is. I never asked for anyone to search a word and to use my tweet just because it comes up on this search engine. I would like read about the terms of use in the Twitter website and if it does state that your tweets are open to anyone, because I think it is truly crazy how there are websites designed to spy and allow others to read what you are typing.

Video Search, Don-Wrege--Internet-Author-interviewed-by-Robert-Carl-Cohen This interview took place in 1997, and Wrege talks about many of the incredible changes that the internet has brought about. He discusses multimedia as it first began, then goes into discussing how he uses his column to give people information. Setting up links within his writing and allowing people to respond immediately are just a few things that are seen as average today, but in '97 seem almost ground-breaking because of the way Wrege and his interviewer discuss them.

This website explains how Pandora radio actually works. This site will help me in making comparisons between the "original" idea for radio vs. our multimedia version.

This article is from JSTOR, it is written by M.Mayer and J.E. Till. It is an article explaining how many problems encountered on the Internet will be unmmanageable.Some of these problems include authorship, blank websites, and how the global network has pros and cons. The article is written from a scientific point of view, so it deals less with opinion and more with research based ideas. This will benefit my project because I can use some of these ideas on multimedia writing, and the Internet in general to support my theory on authorship.

A blog on the subject that the website "Texts From Last Night" is becoming a book.

Have not had a chance top read, but it seems to be about an alternative way of teaching by the use of video
